Cwmparc
It's not every day you get an aerial view of a complete branch line. Cwmparc colliery buildings were just to the left of the large building at left side vertical centre; while the junction with the main line was in Treorchy, to the right. Treherbert nestles at the head of the valley, below the strip of trees running uphill; while Pontypridd is out of shot to the right. Picture taken from a lay-by alongside the A4061 in May 2010. Spot the sheepish looking sheep!
