Dist:0.3km<br/>I think there are 15 straining cables to the mast, these cables are used for access by maintenance workers as a "quick" way up the mast, using a special carriage, the slow way up is through the tower ladder, some years ago a lady wanted to go up the mast, very nerve wracking apparently but she made it!

Dist:0.3km<br/>Top section of the mast, total height is over 800 feet

Dist:0.3km<br/>Ground level of mast, and it sits on a huge ball bearing

Dist:0.4km<br/>There are 12 huge concrete anchor blocks around the mast with the strain cables fixed to, these blocks apparently move!!!

Dist:0.4km<br/>This very tall mast stands on the eastern end of the Welsh Preseli Hills. The mast belongs to Arqiva and is one of the tallest masts in Wales at over 750-feet. This mast is the main station TV-Transmitter for this regional area. VHF-Radio services come from another tall mast not so far away called Haverfordwest. I am also amazed with how long this website has been operative no one has struck this landmark off the list.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Garden and inscribed blue stone monument to James Davies 1758-1844 of Tymawr Pentregalar. He was known as "Siams Dafi" and he superintended the construction of the main road Cardigan-Narberth between Bridell and Efailwen. An account of the stones unveiling in June 2007 by Mrs. Mona Williams (a descendant of Siams Dafi) is on the BBC Lleol De Orllewin-translation here
