Soar y Mynydd Chapel

We have now crossed the bridge and have reached the remote chapel of Soar y Mynydd but our journey has not been uneventful by any means. Remember what I said about those timber lorries? Well I had seen one approaching and with no layby in sight I managed to squeeze myself onto a grass verge, the lorry looms above me and the driver raises his hand in acknowlegement. Luckily I had seen the second one and stayed where I was and two minutes later he passed by. It struck me that they must have their own arrangement where they all come into the area in the morning and out in the afternoon. Anyway after that excitement we have reached the chapel and it is clad in scaffold so here is a photo of the inside.
The chapel was built in 1822 by Ebenezer Richard who was a minister in Tregaron. In those days there was a larger population in the area as sheep farming was the industry and the forestry had not been planted. Although the chapel is far from anywhere services are still held and are well attended. It is the most remote chapel in Wales.
