Dist:1.0km south<br/>The old chapel ruins were of an early Methodist chapel or meeting place serving the locality and surrounding valleys and people often travelled 10 miles or more to attend services. Today mountain bikers are attracted from even further afield by the downhill routes that snake through the surrounding forestry.

Dist:1.1km south<br/>This ruin was originally believed to be a Chapel of Ease to provide ecclesiastical support to the outlying farms. It was restored by the Methodists in 1775 and it became an important centre of worship. It closed in 1826 when a new chapel was opened in Pontrhydyfen.

Dist:1.3km north<br/>Pelenna Forest stops abruptly on Mynydd Blaenafon. Looking west the trees are thick to the right and the moorland open to the left. There are the remains of a wall along here, although a barbed wire fence now denotes the boundary.
