A View-stop on the Virtual Walk

The walk crosses this ditch between Blaen-y-ddôl and Grogwynion (the house in the background). The ditch is in fact an old leat, built in the 1920s to carry water from the dam which is visited later in the walk, to a lead-ore processing plant further down the Ystwyth Valley, where it powered - via a turbine - crushing machinery.
