The position of the village of Cwmyoy is very prominent, situated under a large outlier from the Hatteral Hill, which outlier, called Graig, has the appearance of having being divided into two parts. The lofty heights of the Hatteral Hill, proceeding more northerly, present, in their almost perpendicular grand precipices, the appearance of escarpments of a miniature Gibraltar, or of Aden upon its landside, inacessible even to an escalading party.
