Description

This milestone, possibly dating from the early 19th century, is located on the grass verge on the north side of the A458 between Llanerfyl and Llangadfan, approximately 0.5 kilometers east of the community boundary. It is a flat, upright slab of shale, much of which is buried. The milestone was previously limewashed and features deeply chamfered corners and a flat top. The front face has a carved inscription that reads: "Machynlleth 23 Miles Canoffice 0 Llanfair" (with the Llanfair part being partially buried). It is listed as a comparatively well-preserved example of an early 19th-century milestone, providing evidence of turnpiking.

Local climate

Milestone sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,110 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 48 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 28 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
