  • GUIDED WALKS and EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May)
    GUIDED WALKS & EVENTS SPRING 2019 Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May) Most of these walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken. Walking boots, rucksack, hats, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans), spare fleece, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course waterproof jackets and trousers. A whistle and a head torch (with spare batteries) should be carried, particularly during the winter months, and a hi- visibility garment would be very useful in case of poor visibility. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice by ringing the walk leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs because of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under 18). MOST OF THESE WALKS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED WALKERS - IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OF YOUR ABILITY WHY NOT START OFF WITH A MODERATE WALK TO FIND OUT? Please check the guided walks programme on the website for planned cancellations and changes to walks. Leaders may change or cancel the advertised route at their discretion due to adverse weather conditions or other problems on the day. You are strongly advised to check the Mountain weather forecast for the Brecon Beacons National Park before setting out for walks, on the Met Office website: www.metoffice.gov.uk. Finish times are approximate. Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace.

  • CH-UK-RF-Sgridhr-Heads of Valleys Abergevenny-Rev 00 Dec 18
    CASE HISTORY UK / CH /RF/ Rev: 00, Dec 2018 HEADS OF THE VALLEYS, A465 ABERGAVENNY, SOUTH WALES ROCKFALL DRAPERY SYSTEM Product: Steelgrid HR DT mesh system Problem The A465 road is a major infrastructure project connecting west Wales with the upper ends of the Welsh valleys and then to the English midlands. It is one of the key corridors and international gateways for the south Wales economy. It connects the M4 at Neath to Abergavenny and Hereford. The existing A465 was built in the 1960s and is a single three- lane carriageway with two lanes in the uphill direction and one in the downhill direction. A regional traffic study in 1990 identified the need to improve this road. The width of the road restricts traffic flow and opportunities for safe overtaking. In many areas there is poor visibility. Accidents on this stretch are concentrated around junctions Steel grid HR system secured to the rock face with plates and areas with poor visibility. The Welsh government has a long programme of work to address shortcomings and make the road suitable to help sustain industry and tourism in south and west Wales. These improvements to the A465 are critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area. This project will improve access to key services, jobs and markets supporting inward investment to areas such as the Ebbw Vale enterprise zone. Solution Slope stabilisation was an important element of the scheme, and both CAN Geotechnical and BAM Ritchies have been working closely with the Costain team on a number of key slopes.

  • RHEOLA Ref Number PGW (Gm) 53 (NEP) OS Map 170 Grid Ref SN 838
    RHEOLA Ref number PGW (Gm) 53 (NEP) OS Map 170 Grid ref SN 838 042 Former county West Glamorgan Unitary authority Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Community council Glynneath Designations Listed building: Rheola Grade II Site evaluation Grade II Primary reasons for grading The survival of an early nineteenth-century villa by John Nash and its contemporary picturesque setting. Although part of the park has been built on by a wartime aluminium plant the majority of the setting, which was kept deliberately simple, survives, as do some of Nash’s picturesque estate buildings. The gardens have been enhanced by later nineteenth-century tree and shrub planting. Type of site Small picturesque park; informal grounds; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction c. 1812-13; 1828-29 Site description Rheola is a substantial, two-storey house in a simple Regency style, situated on the north side of the Vale of Neath, 2 km to the north-east of Resolven. The house lies on levelled ground at the southern end of the narrow tributary valley of the Rheola Brook and is orientated north-west/south-east, its main entrance being on the south-west side. The Rheola Brook runs along its north-east side. The white-painted stone house has sash windows, pitched slate roofs, brick chimneys and verandahs along the south- west and south-east sides. The latter, on the garden front, has iron piers, the former, on the entrance front, has rusticated stone piers. The verandah projects forwards slightly in front of the central front door. At its north end is a two-storey octagonal projection (the servants’ hall).

  • NLCA31 Central Monmouthshire - Page 1 of 8
    National Landscape Character 04/09/2015 NLCA31 CENTRAL MONMOUTHSHIRE © Crown copyright and database rights 2013 Ordnance Survey 100019741 www.naturalresources.wales NLCA31 Central Monmouthshire - Page 1 of 8 Canol Sir Fynwy – disgrifiad cryno Dyma dirwedd fryniog ar lawr gwlad lle ceir bryniau, dyffrynnoedd a gorlifdiroedd. Mae’n gwrthgyferbynnu’n llwyr â thirweddau cyfagos yr ucheldir sy’n esgyn tua’r gorllewin. Mae dyffryndiroedd a ffurfiwyd gan ffawtiau a dyddodion rhewlifol yn esgor ar ddyddodion llifwaddodol ffrwythlon sy’n hollbwysig i ffyniant yr ardal wledig hon a gaiff ei ffermio. Mae Afon Wysg yn draenio rhan helaeth o’r de a’r gorllewin. Afon Mynwy ac Afon Troddi sy’n draenio’r gogledd. Gwelir bod lonydd gwledig â gwrychoedd uchel yn cysylltu pentrefi a phentrefannau a chanddynt naws werinol arbennig mewn Hen Dywodfaen Coch a bythynnod gwyngalchog sydd â thoeau llechi. Yn y cefn gwlad agored, gellir gweld ffermdai gwyngalchog yn glir yn erbyn cefndir gwyrdd y caeau pori a’r coetiroedd. Mae’r tawelwch hwn yn cuddio gorffennol o ymgiprys pan fu cyfres o gribddeilwyr tir pwerus yn ymladd am y ffermdir toreithiog. Cafodd caerau a chestyll eu lleoli’n strategol mewn nifer o lecynnau manteisiol, yn arbennig wrth groesfannau afonydd, fel yn Y Fenni, Brynbuga a Threfynwy. Ar ôl Diddymu’r Mynachlogydd ymddangosodd tirwedd o ystadau mawr, a daeth y rhain wedyn yn lleoliadau ar gyfer plastai a chanddynt barciau a gerddi. Mae nifer o’r rhain yn gyfan, i raddau helaeth, hyd heddiw. Yn aml, arweiniodd cyfoeth mawr y tir at noddi’r rhai a oedd â diddordeb mewn celfyddyd a diwylliant, ac mae gan Sir Fynwy nifer o noddwyr, beirdd a chroniclwyr.
