Argoed

Cardiff

Pen-deri farm. Argoed, Caerphilly. Pen-deri farm and the hamlet of Gwrhay taken from on the Sirhowy Valley Walk climbing up from Argoed. On the skyline, five miles to the south, can be seen Mynydd Machen which is also on the same long distance path.
Across Cruglwyn View from the Man-moel Road looking west across the Cruglwyn plateau.
Nant yr Helyg from the Man-moel Road The Sirhowy Valley Walk gets up above the valley of Nant yr Helyg. This is looking south with Hollybush in the distance.
Man-moel Road The road leads from the village of Manmoel over Cefn Manmoel (although strangely the road name has a hypen and the other two don't). It is part of the Sirhowy Valley Walk, but is also driveable with care (it gets worse). I did wonder whether this was a fellow geographer parked up here but I have not seen any photographic evidence yet.
Wild horse on Man-Moel Road A stroke of luck. I was just thinking about continuing north when I happened to look back south and saw one of the wild moorland horses cantering across. This is Man-Moel Road, a moorland track across the top of Cefn Manmoel and part of the Sirhowy Valley Walk.
