Rhigos Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Morning all on this #bankholidaymonday (most of the UK maybe!?) Another mountain shot of the twisty roads, but without my hand in the way! 😉 This is the Bwlch-y-Clawdd Road, leading up from Nant-y-Moel in the Welsh Valleys... A little further down was where I was brought up (#historylesson).. To my left is Craig Ogwr a rocky outcrop that dominates the twisty section of 'The Bwlch' more twisty road shots this week. #dafyddInWales #bwlch #CraigOgwr #visitwales #igerswales #igerscymru #twistyroads #roads #mountainroads #welsh #wales #southwales #ordnancesurvey #vsco #icu_britain #bbcbritain #communityfirst #ig_britishisles #britains_talent #capturingbritain #ig_uk #photosofbritain #getOutdoors #jessopsmoment
