Re: The random rideout pictures thread
It's Y Bwa, built in 1810 by Thomas Johnes over the original course of the road from Cwmystwyth to Devil's Bridge to celebrate the golden jubilee of George III.
"‘The Arch’ or ‘Y Bwa’ in Welsh, situated between Devils Bridge and Cwm Ystwyth this location has the delightful name of ‘The head of the pass of lost existence’. The Arch itself is a stone structure which was erected in 1810 by the Thomas Johnes family of the nearby Hafod estate to commemorate the golden jubilee of George III. Until recently this landmark construction spanned the road but following damage to its structure by a vehicle a new road construction now bypasses it." |

Re: The random rideout pictures thread
Thanks Gary....
Well yes I'd like to see it. I know the road and ride it several times a year and have NEVER noticed this! I have just looked on Streetview and found it, so I'll know where to stop next time. In my defence it is on a bend where I 'may' be getting a wriggle on so I'm looking 100% at the road and not the scenery.

Re: The random rideout pictures thread
It's well worth stopping to look at Mike. It's an impressive looking piece of stonework.
