Vanishing point

With no road access, Dduallt Halt on the Ffestiniog Railway between Tan y Bwlch and Tanygrisiau provides a text book definition of the middle of nowhere. On the right, Rhoslyn Cottage was once home to stationmaster and renowned Welsh bard Gwilym Deudraeth. On occasion he would indent for repairs in verse, at others he would engage in poetic competition with the Loco Superintendent William Williams. Dduallt (Black Hill) is one of those places in Welsh legend where, if you spend the night, you wake either as a madman or a poet.
