Infra-Red views at the Hafod Estate in Mid-Wales

The Hafod Estate in Ceredigion, Wales is the remains of a what used to be a country estate. Now looked after by the National Trust it is also a commercial forest. As is typical of much of Wales, it is full of small steep valleys and fast running streams. But it is accessible and possible to walk over many of the paths through the estate.

These photos were taken during a short holiday nearby in May last year. For these photos I used my infra-red converted camera with a vintage lens on it. Here is a selection of photos:

A hillside path through the woodland at Hafod
A footbridge over one of the many streams through the estate
In the middle of the woods are structures like this – it is what the rich did in those days!
A different view of the same structure as the previous image
A small waterfall along one of the streams. Just visible top left is a footbridge over the stream.

My understanding is that these streams flow into the River (Afon) Ystwyth – the old mining village of Cwm Ystwyth is nearby and the town of Aberystwyth is a few miles away on the coast where the Ystwyth runs into the sea.
