Notes on BRYN-SIL, Horton, Gower 2020
I took the long path to the house, by the caravan park near to Horton. I wanted to visit another ruin which was so overgrown that no images were taken. I was also uncertain if Bryn-sil was lived in or indeed even ruined. On Googleearth the house seemed isolated in location with no road leading to it. As it turns out the house has seen a lot of renovation which was from a ruinous cottage. There is a new roof over the bare walls, inside had been built up with stone and brick and there was new lintels over the doors and windows… except there was no doors or windows and access into the house was by simply crossing the threshold. I am uncertain when this work was done but judging by the track/path leading to the house nothing had been done this year. It is beautifully positioned, especially so on the Sunday morning of my visit, a warm, warm day with no clouds. This isn’t my preferred weather for photographing but so few of the images on this website are taken in bright sunlight it actually made a change. I hope Brynsil is restored fully and becomes a home for someone. Remnants of an wood and corrugated outbuilding also on site but lost in the undergrowth.
