Dist:1.1km south<br/>This view scanned from a print taken in the 1960s, shows in the foreground, Darran Woods and the row of houses at Penshanel. The fields between there and the village of Longford (centre of picture) have now been built on. Beyond Longford is Taillwyd, where the fields have again been replaced by houses. Towards the top centre of the picture is the Village of Caewern, and in the background the Neath Valley runs between the two sets of hills.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>The top of this mountain is flat, wide farmland and this trig point is in the middle of it. It's no good for surveying the Swansea and Neath valleys directly either side of it, but you get a good view of the neighbouring hills.
