Pant-y-Llyn Turlough
The only turlough in mainland Britain, seen in winter. During the summer months, as the water table drops, this lake empties and is often completely dry.

Mainland Britain's only turlough
This lake by the roadside near Pant-y-llyn is a turlough - a lake that is not filled by any surface streams, but instead is supplied from below by the water table rising through the limestone.

Pantllyn Turlough, dried out
The prolonged hot spell has completely drained or evaporated the lake, allowing me to stand on the cracked lake bed and take this shot.

Sinkhole at the bottom of Pantllyn Turlough
A small depression in the middle of the dried out lake bed looks a likely candidate for the hole this turlough fills and drains through. Unfortunately it doesn't show very well in this photo. It's centre-shot with a log fallen in to it.

The Cave of the 12 Knights
There are several legends about the ancient bodies that miners found in this cave. Information points around the woodland walks mention it, but it is hard to find as you are discouraged from leaving the marked paths.

Tiny cave entrance in Carmel Woods
Right beside a forest walk around the quarry and turlough is this cave entrance. The gap is so small that only the warning plaque telling you not to enter lets on that it is actually a cave. To get some idea of the scale the warning sign is about the size of a greeting card.

Gwenlais Quarry
Seen through the gloom of drizzle and hill mist, this huge limestone quarry once fed nearby industrial scale lime kilns to produce lime for the iron and steel industries of South Wales. Now disused and part of the Carmel National Nature Reserve.
