Rhos y Gell

Looking towards the northern end of the moor, and the watershed between the Rheidol and Ystwyth catchment areas. Rhos y Gell in English is Moor of the Cell; the origins of the name are a bit puzzling. The area in view is also known as Gors Lwyd, the Grey-brown Bog, which seen on a less sparkling day than this one is more understandable.
