This farm is in almost the exact middle of the gridsquare at a crossroads. Sychpant, a not uncommon name, means dry hollow - something worth noting in such a well-watered area.

The white quartz rocks on the gatepost are a traditional feature - not just decorative, they also show up in the dark. Behind can be seen external steps leading to an upper grainstore.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Easy to miss this little bridge which carries the road across a tiny tributary of the Clydach to the west. Old maps show a dwelling or two here but none remains now. There is an entrance to Coed Pentre Ifan on the right.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Odd name for this place at a crossroads on the A487: quite possibly thare was an inn here once. The low pink building (a useful cafe in the summertime) appears to have originally been a longhouse-type dwelling. The minor road left leads to Nevern and right to Cilgwyn.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This area is close to the present southern limit for sighting red kites. They are often mobbed and driven away by smaller birds. In this case the kite was seen off by a crow (I think) which pursued it until it moved away.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This common gall, also known as the Rose Bedeguar, usually found on wild dog roses. It is caused by a tiny gall wasp, Diplolepis rosae, that lays its eggs in the plant's leaf buds. The name Bedeguar comes from a French, and ultimately a Persian, word meaning 'wind-brought'.

Dist:0.9km<br/>It's always tempting to wonder whether dwellings with exotic names refer to current events of the time, personal connections or biblical associations. Possibly this farm, now a private house, near Cilgwyn, was built at the time of the Crimean war?
