A road was sealed off after an old mine shaft collapsed on a Powys hillside. It will not reopen until early next month, say officials. A hole, around 50ft across and 30ft deep (9m by 15m), opened up at Priestweston, near Montgomery, on Sunday morning.

and the outline of Corndon Hill is to the rear, and the rocky outcrop near The Whetstones is visible, placing the road closure right on the corner where most folk will have come off the Shrewsbury Bishop's Castle road. Assuming car access is still achievable, a more circuitous route through Priestweston Village, or on foot across Stapeley hill, would be needed.
