Graveyard of former Holy Trinity Church, Ystalyfera
Holy Trinity church was built in 1845 and demolished in 1988 because it was structurally unsound. The graveyard has remained and a memorial garden has replaced the demolished church, giving an idea of its original position. The fence around the tree at the centre of the garden has a plaque, shown here: Image
This photo was taken from the adjacent Church Road.

St Illtyd's Way leaves Sustrans cycle route 43
This unassuming little series of steps is where St. Illtyd's Way parts way with the cycle route. It was clear that few people walk this route as it was blocked in several places with fallen trees and there were few footprints in some of the muddy tracks.

Landslide on Graig Road between Godre'r Graig and Ystalyfera
In 1965 part of Mynydd Allt-y-grug slipped down over this section of road sweeping away all the houses either side of it. The road has only ever been reopened as a much narrower path for light foot traffic.
In the photo you can see how much the landslide has reduced the width of the road. However this is not the whole story: a few hundred yards further back the road is a third wider again with a pavement on both sides.
The landslide is thought to have been triggered when a water main supply was accidentally ruptured, allowing water between layers of otherwise impermeable rock. Even now at the southwest end of the landslip there are extra drainage pipes running down the mountain to help prevent further occurrences.
