Dist:0.6km<br/>The main forest road runs through the south-east corner of the square. Although the map shows forest, this is mainly low deciduous scrubland.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A series of forest roads and tracks meets here. The strong sun contrasted with the very shaded forest rides. A party balloon lies abandoned, or perhaps it flew here.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the main forest road running nearly two kilometres in a straight line along the western side of the forest. The aspects are open, the ground is firm; lovely walking.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>The Neath Canal is now in water from just above these locks at Clyne through Lock Machin and into Neath Town centre where a low bridge at Bridge street stops navigation. Several yards above these locks at Clyne work has started to rebuild the Ynysbwllog aqueduct damaged by flooding.

Dist:1.1km northwest<br/>Various sections of the Neath canal are being restored. Here we see several locks in a row have been refurbished. Despite the locks being in full working order the canal itself is beginning to get overgrown. With the remaining sections broken up by modern developments I wonder how much use the canal will get.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>The railway that runs up the Vale of Neath and ends in Blaengwrach crosses a small side road here. Although the tracks look recently used, it can't be a very busy railway since the gates are padlocked and have to be manually opened.

Dist:1.3km northeast<br/>Leaving the woodland behind us, this bridleway descends past the remains of Blaen Twrch, a former farmstead, just seen beyond the tree.

Dist:1.3km east<br/>This appears to have been a former mine or quarry distribution area. A bridleway and footpath diverge here each heading down to the valley. The yellow ribbons appeared throughout the forest and appear to have been route markers for a cross-country running or bike event.

Dist:1.3km northeast<br/>With the woodland in the south-east of the square behind us, this is looking across sheep pasture towards the Vale of Neath.

Dist:1.3km east<br/>Most of the planted forest to the north of the track has been felled, so there are extensive views in that direction.
