Boulders and barrier at the edge of a riverside cycle route, Penywaun
There is nothing behind the camera to prevent a car or other unsuitable vehicle getting this far, so boulders
and a metal barrier prevent misuse of the path and cycle route ahead, along the south bank of the Afon Cynon. The signpost in the background shows National Cycle Network routes 46 and 478. The arm pointing left shows 1½ (miles) to Hirwaun, 7 to Glynneath. The details on the right-pointing arm have been partly damaged.
