Croesor Tramway

Bronnydd

In this section the line continues to meander but few relics are to be found

The map shows Bronnydd cottage in the centre with the line looping round behind it. Little of it is to be seen however

Some way beyond Cefn Werthyd crossing, in a tangle of undergrowth, the line diverges almost imperceptibly to the left of the WHR

An embankment can just be made out in the undergrowth…

…only for it to be truncated abruptly at the field boundary. The remainder of embankment which lay in the field beyond has been bulldozed away.

An original stone culvert survives under the end of the embankment

Where the line once ran across the fields to the rear of Bronnydd all trace of it has vanished

It looped around the rear of the buildings at Bronnydd, as seen here from the WHR.

On its way back towards the WHR it passed through these fields, again leaving almost no trace.

Crossing to the other side of the WHR, the line curved round to merge with the WHR, leaving a widened formation for some distance
