Cwmystwyth Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A view of Cwmystwyth looking across the only significant flat area of the cwm to be found before the river reaches maturity near Trawscoed some 6 miles further west. Beyond, steep slopes rise to the Elenydd moors. Opposite is the cwm of the Nant Milwyn, at the head of which is the small but distinctive hill of Domen Milwyn.

Cwmystwyth seen from the west Cwmystwyth is a fairly scattered community, the farm and nearby houses are about as dense as it gets, although there is another small group of houses just down the road from where the photograph was taken.
