Hello I moved to Ferndale June last year with my partner and have had many walks locally. This site may have been one we passed by and on one of the pictures a tip is on the horizon as of yet we do not know the name but locals call it Old Smokey. So glad to have found this website to be able to put a name to the many photographs we have taken is wonderful :) |

Hello there, that's brilliant, I'm glad someone is finding this useful. I spent a good few trips trying to visit all the prehistoric sites of Rhondda, I'm moved across to Cynon now. |
