Or perhaps you would prefer
sailing in the Cardigan Bay from Aberdyfi, or on Wales’s
largest natural lake at Bala where again tuition is available.
Or if this is not to your taste, spend a few hours pony
trekking on the hills or along the estuary where guided
treks are
available daily, no experience is necessary and all safety
equipment is supplied.
Spend your day trout fishing
at Cregennan lakes, 15 minutes
walk from Gefnir Cottage. The large lake has wild brown
trout and the small lake (fly only) is stocked with
rainbow trout. Permits are available from the house.

Here in Wales you can walk the paths our Celtic
ancestors walked, follow the old drovers roads to market
towns, visit the gold mines which produced the gold for the
wedding rings of the Kings and Queens of England, and see
the building where Owain Glyndwr held the first Welsh Parliament.

Or perhaps you would rather
just wander the hills where the legends of King Arthur
grew in the Mabinogion.
Legend has it that a rock on the shore of Llyn y Gadair,
a lake on Cadair Idris, bears the imprint of King Arthur’s
horse’s hoof.

Nearby at Aberdyfi is the River Dyfi,
it was here, according to legend, that the baby Taliesin
was plucked
from the freezing waters by Gwynddo ap Garanhir, a prince
of Cair Dyfi. Not far away is Castell
y Bere, one of the only castles in Wales to be built by
the Welsh for defence against the English.
