Yesterday Tellytubby and I drove to Dolwyddelan to meet up with old Uncle Albert and while we were waiting for him we had a look around the village Church . When he arrived it was just like old times with plenty of banter right from the start.
There are plenty of nice walks in the area but because it was nearly 4 months since our last walk we decided to have a nice easy walk from Dolwyddelan to Pont Y Pant. It follows the Afon Lledy downstream and along a good level path, so what could go wrong!
We took our time enjoying the views and it wasn't long before we came to the lovely slab bridge across the river, the area is prone to flooding so the bridge must have been built like that for all the flood water to go under it.
A large deserted farm building caught our eye so we couldn't resist having a nosy there. It was a building just for animals but nothing remained inside it. After a quick look around we headed back to the track and carried on towards Pont Y Pant and went past a quaint old cottage that had a garden full of Daffodils It was in an ideal spot with commanding views across the river to Moel Siabod and beyond
The path then goes under a bridge and is normally dry but yesterday it was flooded so we had to find a way past it, which we did with care and carried on to Pont Y Pant railway Station where we stopped and had our refreshments.
After a while we followed the path back but instead of going under the bridge by the boggy ground we followed a path uphill and then had to scramble over difficult terrain and ended up by the Slab Bridge which we crossed over to get to the A470 as we wanted to see the Well of St Gwyddelan again. A short but steep path then took us up to the well where we took some photos before heading back to our cars. It was nice seeing friends again and going out for a walk again after such a long time
