You know when you've spied a road on a map or somewhere and you have to go there.... For around 20 years I had been meaning to use this 1 mile long c class road that joins two A roads, the A474 & A483 near Maerdy, Llandeilo.... but never got around to it.. I convinced myself today it was enroute!
Not for anything other than to see what it was about.... and came across the gem of a low bridge and cobbled ford all together.
Looks well preserved regarding the cobbled area. Wouldn't like to try it as a short cut between the two A roads though once this dry spell has finished.

That's the one. Puzzlingly, I can't see anything - not a town, village, hamlet or even a farmhouse - labelled as Fairfach in the vicinity on the map.

I think it's listed there as Fairfach.

Ffairfach (Welsh spelling) village is about two miles north east of the ford.
I see it now. Usually Lee Chapman chooses a name somewhat more local to each ford. In fact Rhyd-y-ffynnon, the name of a nearby farm, would have been a much better name, especially as "rhyd" is the Welsh for ford.
