About Rhydycroesau

Rhydycroesau emerges from the Shropshire landscape as a collection of stone and slate held firmly in the grip of the border hills. It lies 3.1 miles west of Croesoswallt (from Croesoswallt: bearing 281°T, OS grid SJ 242 307), and is situated south-west of Selattyn village. The incline toward Gallt-y-wrach dominates the horizon to the north-west, casting a long, cool shadow over the valley floor as the afternoon sun begins to wane. Below these elevations, the Cynllaith traces a narrow, purposeful path through the fields, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting greys of the English sky. Rhydycroesau maintains a quiet composure, defined by the steady, unadorned labour of the surrounding farms that have long shaped the character of the soil. Ancient boundaries remain visible in the earth, where the remnants of the Coed-Y-Gaer Hillfort stand as a silent witness to the defensive history of these high, wind-swept ridges. The air here carries a sharp clarity, unburdened by the clamour of modern industry, leaving only the sound of the wind moving through the hedgerows. Such a place demands little from the visitor, offering instead the simple, austere grace of a landscape that has long been left to its own devices.
