Pen-y-graig

Cardiff

Wet pitch at Penygraig The A4119 grazes the north-eastern corner of the square. Adjacent, and in the square checked with GPS, is this football pitch. It looks as though the land may have been levelled to create the pitch, as the rest of the land going into the square on the left is steep up onto Mynydd Pen-y-graig. It was very wet and the groundsman looked thoroughly fed up.
