Aber Draw, near Trefin. The village is well known as the home village of Cerys Matthews, former lead singer with Catatonia.
Cottages and Bridge, Trefin. The cottages in the background have a feature common in this area, which is a cement skim over the slate roof tiles, hence the light colour of the roof. These cottages were built in the 19th century to house the workers in the nearby slate quarry (the same firm as the quarries at Porthgain and Abereiddy).
