Dist:0.5km<br/>This tractor has not moved for a very long time. It may have broken down in this spot and the necessary repairs proved too costly to make them worthwhile. Alternatively, it may have broken down elsewhere and been towed to this spot to keep it out of the way. The sheep don't seem to care! It makes a convenient rubbing post for them. The village of Pencader can be seen beyond, with a hanging wood on the steep slope to the west.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is the one just above the post office, and looked very dramatic lit by the setting sun. The inscription includes Tabernacl and Annibinwyr (i.e. Tabernacle Independent Chapel) and the dates 1660 (probably when founded) and 1909 (when this chapel was built). It was designed by Arthur Jones of Carmarthen (from 'Buildings of Wales') Before 1910 members of the Congregational chapel met at what is now called the Old Chapel, Pencader.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This mast is strategically sited on the spur of a hill to give as large as possible coverage of the surrounding areas. In the distance you can see part of the village of Pencader, good reception here, and the woodland situated to the west of the village.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The sun is low in the west on this January afternoon making the shadows of the hedge extend far across the field. In the distance, part of the village of Pencader can be seen, including the road to the south with its houses, a housing estate, and the valley of the Nant Gwen in between.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The gates to Pencader cemetery, the road coming from the A485, and the yellow Mini (again).

Dist:0.9km<br/>These horses are eating a large round bale of hay in a circular feeder. In the distance you can see the two valleys formed by the two branches of the stream that joins the Afon Talog at Pencader, with part of Brechfa forest to the right..

Dist:1.3km southwest<br/>It is a cold January afternoon. Frost remains in the shadows and hollows. The sheep have nibbled the grass down and the farmer will be giving them supplementary feed as lambing approaches. In the distance you can see higher ground beyond the valley of Nant Gran.

Dist:1.3km east<br/>Gorse in full bloom - and puddles from the last few days' rain.

Dist:1.5km west<br/>This flattish field has rushes on it and is being grazed by sheep. Gorse has managed to establish itself on the tumulus. The plantation of softwood trees beyond makes good use of this poor quality land.

Dist:1.6km east<br/>The cows started mooing rather alarmingly - I suspect it was because many of them had calves with them
