The climb above the valley to Twmpath taken by the Wye Valley Walk, offers a commanding view up the river towards Builth Wells. The layers of land, pasture, woodland, moorland, can be seen clearly.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Taken from the Wye Valley Walk, which here follows a minor road for about 2 kilometres. Erwood Bridge [[SO0843]] can be seen in the middle distance.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Wye Valley Walk was completely blocked at about SO074441 by the debris from hedge-cutting, and so we had to detour by way of a minor road, and then 1.1 kilometres along the busy A470 (seen here). Fortunately the verges were quite wide as far as Erwood Bridge, and the detour at least provided a good view of the river!

Dist:0.3km<br/>From the B road running along the eastern side of the valley. This view looks across the sheep pasture running down to the river. On the opposite hillside is the farm of Tregear with the woodland of Little Hill to the right. All these features are within the square.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This line ran along the east side of the Wye valley between Builth Wells and Boughrood, then on to Talgarth. It lasted about 100 years, opening in the 1860's and closing in 1963. This view is looking north-west towards Builth Wells.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A minor road on the west bank climbs the steep hillside and just scrapes into this square. Looking east across the valley, the eastern slopes of the moorland can be seen near Tir-celyn.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The road leads down from Pentre-caeau. Trackways go to the right on the hill towards Aberedw, but the post on the green carries a warning that the area is now an SSSI. [[1047817]]

Dist:0.6km<br/>A minor road gingerly descends the steeply sided valley. When driving stop before looking otherwise you are liable to veer off onto the ever steepening soft ground.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the first section of common land on the west bank of the Wye. The Wye Valley Walk goes along here, well up above the river with extensive views down the steep slopes.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This recently erected sign warns that this area from Yr Allt towards Aberedw is now an SSSI, but to be fair it is not an area that has suffered too badly from 4x4 use, though there was use a few years ago by motorcyclists who had a track through the fern. [[1047811]]
