Confusion of tracks The tracks in this part of the forest do not exactly correspond with those shown on the 1:25K map, although this one is shown.

Afon Rhondda Fach The river has come down from the Lluest-wen Reservoir, the dam of which can be seen just below the skyline. A road from the reservoir follows the north bank. In the foreground is Pont Lluest-wen, carrying footpaths but not vehicles across the river.

Near Twyn y Bloedd The map shows the forest as being all conifer. But in this part there are many broad-leaved trees.
