Landslip in the upper gorge!
Landslip in the upper gorge!
This landslip occurred a few days ago and resulted in the closure of the busy A465 Heads of the Valleys Road for 24 hours whilst the debris was cleared away and the site checked and made safe. Fortunately the Sustrans cycle route, from which the photo is taken, continues to be available. The fence may need some repair!
