Cwm Mawr Mine Case Study
June 2014 Abandoned Mine Case Study: Cwm Mawr Lead & Zinc Mine Cwm Mawr Mine, also known as Fairchance or Cwm Mawr No. 1, lies approximately 500m northeast of the village of Pontrhydfendigaid, Ceredigion. The mine is one of three known to have an impact on water quality in the Afon Teifi upstream of Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog) Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The other significant mines in this area are Abbey Consols and Esgair Mwyn. The presence of Cwm Mawr is first recorded in 1753 and was subsequently worked intermittently, at varying degrees of profitability, until its closure in 1917. Today, the minimal evidence of the area’s past industrial importance includes the remains of buildings, shafts, small waste tips and the collapsed portal of the deep adit level. Cwm Mawr Mine lies within the catchment of the Nant Lluest/Nant y Cwm, a south-westerly flowing minor tributary of the Afon Teifi. The hydrology of the site has been altered due to its mining and agricultural history, resulting in a bifurcation of the Nant Lluest upstream of the mine site, creating the Cwm Mawr Stream. The majority of flow in the Cwm Mawr Stream is diverted towards a nearby farm for agricultural purposes, with the remaining flow passing along a heavily incised channel before entering an open mine shaft. It is believed to re- emerge both through seepages approximately 135m downstream of the shaft, and from the Cwm Mawr Adit 350m southwest of the shaft. The re-issue discharges into the Cwm Mawr Tributary which flows south-westerly, being joined by the adit discharge before entering the Nant Lluest. -

Capel Soar-Y-Mynydd, Ceredigion
Capel Soar-y-mynydd, Ceredigion Richard Coates 2017 Capel Soar-y-mynydd, Ceredigion The chapel known as Soar-y-mynydd or Soar y Mynydd lies near the eastern extremity of the large parish of Llanddewi Brefi, in the valley of the river Camddwr deep in the “Green Desert of Wales”, the Cambrian Mountains of Ceredigion (National Grid Reference SN 7847 5328). It is some eight miles south-east of Tregaron, or more by road. Its often-repeated claim to fame is that it is the remotest chapel in all Wales (“capel mwyaf pellennig/anghysbell Cymru gyfan”). Exactly how that is measured I am not sure, but it is certainly remote by anyone in Britain’s standards. It is approached on rough and narrow roads from the directions of Tregaron, Llanwrtyd Wells, and Llandovery. It is just east of the now vanished squatter settlement (tŷ unnos) called Brithdir (whose site is still named on the Ordnance Survey 6" map in 1980-1), and it has become progressively more remote as the local sheep-farms have been abandoned, most of them as a result of the bad winter of 1946-7. Its name means ‘Zoar of the mountain’ or ‘of the upland moor’. Zoar or its Welsh equivalent Soar is a not uncommon chapel name in Wales. It derives from the mention in Genesis 19:20-30 of a place with this name which served as a temporary sanctuary for Lot and his daughters and which was spared by God when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. (“Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. -

EISTEDDFODAU TEULU JAMES PANTYFEDWEN PONTRHYDFENDIGAID 2019 Cynhaliwyd pen-wythnos o gystadlu brwd dros Ŵyl Calan Mai ym Mhafiliwn Pontrhydfendigaid, gyda chystadlu o’r safon flaenaf yn ôl y beirniaid – Sion Goronwy, Catrin Darnell, Y Prifardd Ceri Wyn Jones, Geraint Roberts, Garry Owen a Manon Richards. Roedd y pafiliwn yn atseinio gyda’r cystadleuthau offerynnol ar y nos Wener a’r safon yn anhygoel. Roedd yn braf gweld cymaint o blant ac ieuenctid yn cystadlu ar y Sadwrn hefyd. Enillwyd y goron gan Terwyn Tomos o Landudoch, a Thlws yr Ifanc gan Glain Llwyd Davies o Landre, ond siom oedd i ddeall nad oedd teilyngdod am y gadair y tro yma.

Elenydd Walk
Hosteli Unigeddau’r Elenydd : Elenydd Wilderness Hostels Walks from Ty’n Cornel Hostel No.3 - Llanddewi Brefi and back - 14 miles (22.5km) Summary A very straightforward but delightful walk. First mile on the track and then on the road down to Llanddewi Brefi and back the same way. Do not be put off by having to return the same way (it looks very different coming back), the thought of road walking (very quiet) or the distance (comfortable with such a good surface). There is something quietly satisfying about descending to 'civilisation' and the pastoral lowlands and then returning to the wilds. Llanddewi Brefi itself is well worth the visit and provides bus connections to other places of interest - see below. Safety This walk is almost entirely on a quiet road. Be alert to traffic and walk on the right. Be aware that there is a short section of high and exposed ground. Directions Dead simple - turn right (west) out of the hostel and follow the track and then the road. The hostel is signed out of Llanddewi Brefi and subsequently. Nevertheless have an OS map with you to enhance the interest of the walk. Points of Interest NB. for more information see Guest Information Files at hostel. 1 Drovers - Your route is an old Drovers' Road. Livestock was driven from the coastal plains over the hills to markets to the S and E. This one from Llanddewi Brefi goes past Ty'n Cornel, over the tops and then down the now-flooded Camddwr valley. 2 Topography - The track climbs out of the Doethie valley into the headwaters of the Afon Pysgotwr (Fisherman's River). -

Highlights included two new county firsts – a long anticipated Caspian Gull at Llanrhystud found by Edward O’Connor and a completely unexpected King Eider off the sea front at Aberaeron found by Liz Snell. Finder’s accounts for both birds are included in this report. Other rarities were a female Ring-necked Duck kicking the year off on the 1st January, the county’s second Red-footed Falcon in almost the same place the first turned up in 1988, the first Great Snipe since 1947 (if accepted by the BBRC), a Spotted Crake, Temminck’s Stint, Hoopoe, Wryneck and a Bluethroat, which was trapped for ringing at the Teifi Marshes.
