Dist:1.0km west<br/>Although this area has been a retail park for many years, this row of buildings has recently been rebuilt to reflect modern building styles and structures. It's obvious from the main road which shop is which, as can be seen from this picture, but once you've parked you have to walk way out into the car park to look at the big signs to work out which shop you're entering, that's how bad the shop door identification is in this retail park.

Dist:1.1km north<br/>I've never seen anything like this before - at the point the trackway ran out on my OS map - it became a field full of tracks that only 4x4 vehicles could drive - indeed there were even whole trackways dug into the fields that only a 4x4 could drive, going into the distance!

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>Another view of the bridge across the Afon Llan, which carried the A483 (Swansea-Chester trunk road) and was the main route between West Wales and London. Abandoned in the 1970s after nearby dual carriageway opened.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>I inadvertently disturbed a Heron which I managed to catch (though blurred) in picture. This bridge was the old A483 Swansea Chester road, which also carried traffic between West Wales and London. The bridge was abandoned in the 1970s.
