Pen y Fan sits in a cluster of other peaks including Corn Du, Cribyn and Fan y Big, so most of them can be climbed in a single walk. These are the main 'Beacons' in the Brecon Beacons.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • 8.0 Biodiversity in and Around Sennybridge & Defynnog
    8.0 Biodiversity in and around Sennybridge & Defynnog 8.1 Overview 8.1.1 The River Usk is a dominant feature along the north-western boundary of Sennybridge and the Afon Senni flows from the south through Defynnog and into the Usk towards the middle of the town. There is almost continuous tree cover along the river corridors providing valuable cover and habitat for bats, birds and species such as otter. The disused railway corridor also provides a woodland corridor through the settlement. The surrounding land is predominantly pasture, much of it improved grassland, but there is a surprising amount of semi-improved grassland with a variety of flower and grass species present, for example the football field between Defynnog and Sennybridge. The ancient yew tree in Defynnog churchyard is also a valuable historical and biodiversity feature.

The request for the visit was made by Mr. Robert Melvin, who is Secretary of the syndicate and one of the landowners. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. Melvin. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream.
