Remnant of a ruined house on the Rholben
At some stage in Victorian times someone decided to build a house up here, possibly a hunting lodge or property associated with shooting, gamekeeping or the management of an estate encompassing the hillsides and mountains. It only has small wall remnants remaining, along with the faint layout of a garden and property boundaries.

View southwards from the front of the Rholben
Abergavenny town lies out below in the valley of the River Usk, with Nevil Hall hospital prominent on the western fringe of the town. The Blorenge provides the backdrop and a haze obscures the valley of the Usk towards Llanellen and Llanover.

Old iron bench on the Rholben
A feature that has survived up here for years, as long as I can remember anyway. People do use it I believe. It gets overgrown with last summers bracken, which can grow very tall on this spot.

Path up the Rholben in May
With a decent view of Abergavenny laid out below. The 'new look' Little Skirrid / Ysgyryd Fach shorn of its forestry looks great.

Tree by Car Park - Porth y Parc.
This tree, which provides a landmark for those descending the Sugar Loaf wondering how far it is to the car, stands out well on this bitterly cold morning.
