In the hills above our village we are blessed with some wonderful old oak trees and there is truly something magical about them which has long been recognised.…

This is the woodland and series of waterfalls below Devil's Bridge where the River Mynach drops 90m down a steep, narrow ravine. After all the recent rain there…

That's not a made up name, that's actually what the walk is called and signposted as such, named that for fairly obvious reasons. It's only a short walk - a…

It's a long while since I sat for an hour or so and just watched the light changing and tried to capture the effects on the landscape as the clouds scudded…

This is from the walk up to Llyn Cau a few days ago. The lake itself sits below Cadair Idris which means Idris' Chair. Legend has it that Idris was a giant who…

One of the successes in the garden this summer has been the petunias which have been glorious and this one even managed to force its way through the dense sage…

From the Offa's Dyke path, looking across towards Knucklas and its viaduct with some dramatically lit sheep wandering about in the background.

A solitary tree sitting on the side of the ancient Offa's Dyke. Offa was King of Mercia from 757 to 796 AD. Offa’s Dyke is a linear earthwork which roughly…
