Dist:0.7km<br/>This curious dilapidated timber building, part of the scattered hamlet of Weythel, lies in the middle of a field close to the Gilwern Brook. Now being restored, perhaps? View looking roughly west.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>View west along the north side of the ridge. Colva Hill across the valley on the right. No sign of life here except some very small bird footprints. Something very satisfying about being the first person to cross a patch of freshly laid snow.

Dist:1.2km southeast<br/>Pointing to the right to take Offa's Dyke path up and over the ridge back all the way to Kington. Great view across the Walton Basin (Radnor Valley) to the Radnor Forest on the horizon. The large dome-shaped hill in the centre is Great Rhos above Harley Dingle - see [[678380]]. To its right is Whimble and Bache Hill above Cwm Broadwell Wood. See [[684487]] for the reverse view.

Dist:1.2km southeast<br/>From above Wern Farm looking north-east up the ridge. Hanter Hill on the left. Bracken covers the whole hill, but the broad strip along the ridge top on the right has been cut to encourage summer grass growth for the grazing animals.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>View north-east up the spine of the ridge. Tracks in the snow indicate a couple of walkers and a single vehicle.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>View south-west down the spine of the ridge to the valley at Gladestry. Colva Hill on the right. Walking was relatively easy here due to the snow having become more solid after continuous frost. This scene was about a week before the severe snow falls of mid-January 2010, when walking this route and tending the sheep in the fields would have become much more difficult.

Dist:1.3km east<br/>Looking west from the Wern Farm path. Colva Hill overlooking a patchwork of sheep pasture in Walton Basin. On the horizon to the right of the wooded valley is Burl Hill and Castle Hill.
