This access track from Clydach Dingle runs through an area of moorland which was open-casted decades ago. The result today is a landscape of endless ridges and hollows now vegetated. Primary use is for grazing - and seemingly also motorbike scrambling despite the fact that it is in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
