Capel Seion, Dylife This former chapel has been sensitively converted into a domestic house. It stands on its own at one end of the tiny village with a handful of cottages between it and the Star Inn at the other end. Once it was part of a thriving mining community of over 1000 population; in the 19th Century at the height of the lead mining here, there were four inns, several chapels, a church and a school - now nearly all disappeared.

Dylife lead mines. The river bed of the Nant Dropyns or Afon Twymyn just downstream of Dylife (295469). The lead mining has left severe traces on the landscape: little vegetation can cope with the heavy metal concentration. I'm not clear about the name of the river at this point. My understanding was that it is called Nant Dropyns until it merges into the Nant Bryn-moel, which in turn becomes the Afon Twymyn downstream of the waterfall (809282) into the glacial Cwm Twymyn (809243). Fellow Geographer David Neal names this section, pictured from the opposite end (227660), Afon Twymyn.
