Dist:0.7km<br/>This is a narrow road with passing places. The photo is taken from a passing place. This road runs along the top of the mountain, through Rhymney and Bedwellty Common which is mostly grazed by sheep, but which can also be used for cattle and horses. Note that there are no fences to keep the animals from walking across the road, or even sleeping on it.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>This is a typical hill farm. The road to the right of this picture runs across the common land which the cattle are grazing on. It is unfenced so motorists have to drive extra cautiously. At either end of the common there are cattle-grids to stop the sheep, cows and horses from leaving the common. Houses are often found in hollows or against the sides of hills for shelter.
