"When you reach Whitchurch Common from the south you expect to find a green lung surrounded by cottages; something old with oaks at its fringes and a maypole; but this is Wales and this is Cardiff so there's nothing like that. The Common - Gwaun Treoda - is a badly-formed egg shape, criss-crossed by roads and dotted with outbuildings, including an upholster's works, and on a rise on the north east side, Ararat, a Baptist chapel. There's no circuit, no boundary dog amble or path for walkers or runners which doesn't make itself cross the blistering A4054 road to Merthyr at least twice. "http://www.peterfinch.co.uk/waun.htm
