Dist:0.7km<br/>At first I thought that this land had become a nursery or garden centre but it looks as if the current owner has a passion for parkland gardens and gardening and is indulging that passion on an impressive scale. And why not!? Its their land and it is good to see someone doing their own thing, without hindrance or inhibition. They also get added privacy into the bargain.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Following a normal footpath across fields and cow pasture you suddenly enter a new, slightly bizarre and surreal environment when you enter the 'grounds' of Ty-hen Farm - for it is no longer a traditional farm, but planted to parkland with a great variety of shrubs and trees that you might more readily expect to find in your local park (even down to the occasional park-style bench), or the garden of an avid gardener. And that is essentially what it is - on a grand scale, with I estimate some 10 acres planted in this way. Someone has bought the farm and spent the last 25 years growing a park.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Ramsom, (Allium ursinum) or wild garlic in the woods near Rhosygilwen. Ransom is also known as bear's garlic, as it was believed bears awakening from hibernation eat it to cleanse their metabolism and regain their strength, consequently the species name is derived from the Latin for bear.

Dist:1.1km southwest<br/>Wenfo Farm (buildings on the right) stands on the northern scarp of the Mynydd Preseli and commands an impressive view over the Teifi valley. Looking northeast in this image.

Dist:1.1km southwest<br/>The road between Rhoshill in the east and Eglwyswrw in the west runs along the northern Preseli escarpment providing spectacular views over the Teifi valley. In this one, looking NNW, the town of Cardigan and the Teifi estuary can be seen in the distance.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>Stopping to look at the view is well nigh irresistible at this point - due north towards the hills of mid-Wales.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>Old Fordson tractor abandoned beside a farm road near Dan-yr-allt.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>This old tractor may have been cannibalised for parts and then left to rot in this hedge. I wonder what its scrap value was and is? The driver's seat is now a mass of rot and someone's waterproof jacket still lies partly draped over it.
