Pont Dros y Gol

Tros y Gol (reputedly = instead of a kiss or embrace). The sad story goes that a young man ditched his sweetheart to marry the daughter of this farm. As the saying has it nid car ond acer o dir. (= nothing matters but an acre of land).

Access to the farm is across a concrete ford with pipes under it. It is not usually above ankle deep, even in wet weather. As a pont (= bridge) it is not impressive. You can see it from the train, just west of Cae Hywel humpback girder bridge.

Alternatively, but less romantically, it is Trosgl = rough land. There is a hill of this name above Bwlch y Ddeufaen on the Roman road from Aber to the Conwy Valley.
