Castle Ely Area Pictures from Elizabeth Wilson


Old Farmhouse - Coldwell (Oldwell)
This old house seems to be in a peaceful setting, but the busy A477 runs by the front of the house.

Coldwell House
When this old house was built on the side of the road several centuries ago the only traffic was the occasional horse and cart. Now it is alongside the busy A477.

Pot holed lane (into Upper Castle Ely)
This farm lane was once part of the network of roads in this area. Before the main road was built in the 1840's this was the road from Red Roses to Llanteg, following the high ground.

Farm Track
This farm track (near Coldwell) once formed part of the 'road' to Red Roses.

Small stream (near Coldwell)
Two small streams join at this point. It is completely overshadowed by trees. In the winter this is more of a torrent than a stream.

Castle Ely and Fronhaul
There was once a medieval settlement here, now all that remains is these houses and a farm. The tumulus can be seen in the centre of the picture.
