Dist:0.6km<br/>The cottage is on the left with a farm yard on the right. The view is looking down hill towards a bend where a small stream passes under the road just around the corner. The lane continues up the other side of the valley following the hedge line which is visible below the white buildings in the distance.

Dist:1.0km<br/>A rectangular building which appears to be contemporary with the chapel stands on the edge of the graveyard - this is likely to have been the schoolroom. Many of the older graves display fine colonies of lichen, thanks to the clean air of this secluded rural spot.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>The original chapel was built 1714, modified, altered or rebuilt 1786, 1845, 1882 and 1931. Still in active use with the newer burials in the foreground behind the chapel in this view from the east.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>Llandilo is no more than a hamlet reached by deep lanes through a narrow valley but the overgrown remains of quarrying can be found just off the road near the chapel. There seem to have been walls and channels constructed to contain the flow of the stream which here issues forth from a hole in the stonework. Everthing is covered in moss and vegetation so that the workings appear to be well on the way to settling back into the landscape.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Wales, 1833, noted that "Slate of good quality is found in abundance within the parish: some quarries of it are worked with advantage, the produce consisting of roofing slates, which are in high estimation."
