Erwood

A pocket-sized hamlet on the western bank of the River Wye in Powys, Wales, Erwood sits in mountain terrain on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. In earlier centuries, drovers crossed the Wye here on their way to markets in the English Midlands and London. Across the river, the ancient hill-fort of Twyn y Garth rises to a summit where a German field howitzer captured in World War I still points back toward the village. Nearby Trericket Mill marks the site where geologist Roderick Murchison identified "the first true Silurian" in the 1830s, now recognised as an internationally important geological heritage site.
