This is Wolfscastle proper, the lower settlement by the river is, strictly speaking, Ford. In this view the A40 road which slices through the village can be seen ahead, and to the left the restored fountain which is worth a closer look. There is a lack of agreement as to whether the Wolf the village is named for was the Norman chief Ulfa of the nearby C12 motte and bailey castle remnants, or "the last wolf in Wales" supposedly captured here.
