Dist:0.7km<br/>Side view of an imposing mansion that sits above the river Teifi, offering superb views. Was used as a school until recently, but has been sold off, and appears to be under restoration.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>Clearly the church built in 1857 stood here. The font is in the position marked on the ground plan http://www.churchplansonline.org/show_full_image.asp?resource_id=04734.tif . Indeed the boot scrapers are still in position by the steps up to the porch. But the church has completely disappeared. The only clue I have so far found is its mention in a list of listed buildings demolished in 1999 http://home.btconnect.com/ancientmonuments/LISTdem1999.doc . A smaller building nearby is now used as the church http://www.dyfedfhs.org.uk/cgn/cgnlddd.htm

Dist:1.1km southwest<br/>Built by Cardiganshire Water Board now operated by D&#373;r Cymru Welsh Water. 98% of the water supply for Ceredigion is extracted from the River Teifi either at this site (a pumping station out of shot to the right of this view) or at Ystrad Fflur - [[SN755659]]. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo011114/halltext/11114h03.htm

Dist:1.4km southwest<br/>Beyond the emerging crop and hidden in the trees the Afon Teifi winds its way west towards Llechryd. The distant houses stand along the A482 on the other side of the river. The minor road, left, follows the course of a canal constructed, parallel to the river in the late C18, to supply water to a shortlived tinplate works near here.

Dist:1.5km southwest<br/>The large porch was extended in 1789 to shelter the wooden(!) memorial of one of the local gentry families. Above is a massive mediaeval bellcote.

Dist:1.5km southwest<br/>The great charm of this church is its unadorned simplicity, which fortunately escaped ill-judged restoration and modernisation. This view from the chancel shows the crude slate floor slabs, white plastered walls with a simple pointed arch and the box pews ranged along both sides of the nave. The panelled pulpit was probably once a three-decker similar to that at Bayvil.

Dist:1.5km southwest<br/>Recording, through the work of an amateur or not-very-literate stonemason, the death in 1712 of 'Jacob Morgann of Veinor gentleman' who 'Lyes & Buryed under neath'. Beneath the stoneflagged floor would have been a secure place for burial where the churchyard was subject to frequent flooding.

Dist:1.5km southwest<br/>Both the box pews in the prime position at the head of the nave are provided with their own fireplaces: they were for the exclusive use of the Pentre and Clynfiew gentry.
