HALFWAY, a place on the W border of Breconshire; on the road from Brecon to Llandovery, under MynyddBwlch-y-groes, 5 miles ESE of Llandovery. A small obelisk here commemorates an upset of the mail coach over a declivity of 130 feet, resulting in the destruction of the coach, without injury to the coachman or the passengers. The rocks in the vicinity are interesting to geologists.
