Dan-yr-Allt and Llaneglwys Isaf
Dan-yr-Allt and Llaneglwys Isaf
The forestry cottages at Dan-yr-Allt, Llaneglwys, were built in the early 1950s to a standard and very good Forestry Commission design. The detached house at the left was for the local head forester, a decade later. The houses were sold, some to sitting tenants, in the 1970s, and the forest privatised in the early 1980s. Llaneglwys Isaf (Lower Llaneglwys) was abolished as a separate farm in the early 1930s; for about 40 years it's been a school venture centre. The fields in the foreground are part of the 10 acre holding the FC gave to no 1 Bungalow (out of the picture to the right) - it's the only one of the five 1930s forestry bungalows in the hamlet still to have all its original holding. You can see the exercise ground for horses which the present owners have recently created.
In the distance are the Radnorshire hills,across the Wye.
