Background

Description

Dolanog lies in a stretch of the Vyrnwy valley. The 17th or early 18th century single-arched bridge spans the river below the church beside a pool overhung with oaks. The ford at the lower end of the village is crossed by a footbridge raised on stone piers, near a whitewashed former Corn Mill of the later18th. century. Across the road, the whitewashed L-plan Mill Farmhouse was originally a fulling-mill, made into a house for the corn mill about 1810.
