Dist:0.3km<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 south<br/>at Pen-bedw. Although ruined, someone has gone to the trouble of clearing the vegetation which was smothering the church - see http://www.dyfedfhs.org.uk/pem/pemlfpw.htm . More information at The Derelict Miscellany: http://derelictmisc.org.uk/penbedw.html . The nearby [[572018]] is now the church for this area.

Dist:1.6km west<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:1.6km north<br/>Many flowers seems to have bloomed in unusual profusion this year, 2010. In the valley below runs the Afon Dyfan, with woods beyond.

Dist:1.6km west<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.
