A perfect morning for a cycle ride

Today was dry and sunny and another opportunity to improve my cycle fitness with a 55k ride. Stopped off at Tredegar House to get a blip. It is a Nation Trust property built in the 1670s by the wealthy Morgan family. The estate  grew to  40,000 acres which in the industrial age gave increased their wealth from coal mining and iron works.
The extra is of a cute small pony that was chained up on the side of the road near to a Travellers community.
