SECOND VIEW OF DAM NEAR BRECON
This is the second of our two views of Cray
Reservoir. The workings of the Reservoir are more
obvious in this shot, and I like the picture
because it came out with something of an oil
painting feel to it. As mentioned before, this
water can be seen from the A4067 Sennybridge -
Ystradgynlais road, and it is worth noting some
other features of interest which can also be seen
along this route. Continuing past the Reservioir,
going south on the 4067, you will eventually go
through a sort of mini mountain-pass, where you
have steep cliffs rising to your right and falling
away to your left. After a few miles, you will
see ahead of you a most unusual skyline as the
normal soft and rolling hills have in their midst
a huge, lumpy, craggy feature which is quite at
odds with its surroundings. In this area you aill
also see Dan Yr Ogof Show Caves and the
magnificent Craig Y Nos Castle, one time home of
the Opera Singer Adelina Patti. The Caves can be
enjoyed at all times and are possibly a
particularly good solution for a wet weather
outing , whilst the Country Park surrounding the
Castle is a joy in reasonable to fine weather.
