Notes from the Welsh Woodlands

Tag: The Cambrian Mountains

Capel Soar y Mynydd

November 7, 2021Categories Culture and Nature, VideosLeave a Comment on Capel Soar y Mynydd

High in The Cambrian Mountains sits Capel Soar y Mynydd, a white stone chapel that was built as a place of worship for the highland sheep farmers who live in this remote area known as the Elenydd.

Few people worship here anymore but the chapel remains as a testament to the community that shaped the land in this part of Wales.

'This is an inspiring story about one man's determination and the power of trees. It should not be missed'.
