View southward across Afon Cerist valley to Cern Carnedd (908 ft.). From August 1871 until finally closed in November 1940, a mineral railway ran from Caersws (to left) to Van (to right). Until about 1879 (!), it conveyed passengers and a Halt of sorts existed here at Cerist. (My more modern transport features outside the Post Office).
