TAL-Y-LLIN PASS

 For spectacular views, this road is hard to beat, as it winds its' way along a parapet halfway up the hill side. It's actually the A487 from Cross Foxes to Machynlleth. There is one view point, which affords spectacular views over the valley and lake below.

This large carpark is here for no apparent reason..........................unless you know that this area of Wales is more usually referred to as LFA07, or 'the Mach Loop'. This is where the RAF and various foreign air forces, practice extreme low-flying in mountainous areas. You can park up (VERY busy in peak season), climb up on top of the hill and actually look down on the aircraft as they pass. You may see fighters (including the Red Arrows), heavy transport aircraft, helicopters and odd things like Ospreys.
