Dist:0.3km<br/>The rules are relaxed here allowing you to leave the road. There is a public toilet behind the house.

Dist:0.3km<br/>One of the main entrances to the army range, off the B4519. The main concern appears to be heat stress on the roads.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Just across the road from the conservation centre on the road through the range you can see these fake tanks. I wonder how many sheep are killed by friendly fire and end up on the menu in the officers' mess ?

Dist:0.3km<br/>A centre that tells the story of the Eppynt and how it became a military training area during early World War II, with massive implications for the residents, their farms and properties. The MOD seem to take their role seriously with this centre, an Eppynt Way waymarked walk and other walk routes over parts of the military training area. They also make much of their protection of the natural environment, wildlife and the area's history and unique culture. The area is prime walking country and it is a shame to see so much of it out of bounds, even if it is for sound reasons of safety due to risks from unexploded armaments, live firing etc.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A former farm building, the centre has a small museum and information about the natural environment of the Mynydd Epynt. So the web site says anyway; I've been there three times so far and it has been shut every time.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The area is full of abandonment. Here is a former field boundary on the Epynt Way. Its line has been crossed by a new more significant track, hence the exposed earth of the bank.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A path leads down from the Epynt Way to the conservation centre on the B4519, following an army track that leads to nearby observation posts.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The road across the moors crosses one of the southern-flowing streams, the Honddu.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A long distance path has been created roughly around the perimeter of the Mynydd Epynt army training area. This is looking north near the eastern side of the square.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Not that you can tell from this distance, but their body language gave away the fact that they very rarely see walkers.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The road skims this square, but does not offer a lot of excitement. This tree stand and some moorland is about all there is in this south-west corner.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Here the B4519 enters the Sennybridge Training Area.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Part of the Sennybridge Training Area, viewed from the B4519.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Looking east in the north-east part of the square, from the Epynt Way, a route that allows some access to the army training area. There is extensive sheep grazing in the area.

Dist:0.7km<br/>There is an information plaque at the viewpoint giving details about all the conservation concerns being addressed on the mountain.
