A clear Ebbw Fach meanders its way through the rocks with the Arael in the background
 

Walkers eschew the chance to sit in the late spring sun on this occasion
 

Glo Byllau Farm nestles beneath the Arael looking south east towards Abertillery
 

Almost hard to believe there's a town down there looking south down the valley

Bluebells carpet the lower slopes of the Arael

Remnants of the workers crossing from South Griffin Colliery to Rose Heyworth

Gorse and broom in full bloom along the river way
 

At last, a well-earned rest and a chat for some of the walkers
 

A very young foal protected by its mother enjoys the warming sun
