Lyn Brianne and Gwenffrwd-Dinas Nature Reserve in the Cambrian Mountains.

Drove up the road beyond Pumsaint the other day to take some time off and clear our heads with a short walk and chill out beside the reservoir. The walk around the mini mountain was a mixture between nice and easy and very up and down near enough scramble which kind of killed my knees, apparently there is a lower walk thats easier but we missed it.

Then only about 1/2 mile up the road is Lyn Brianne which was great, offering fantastic views. We wondered around for a bit and will do a walk from next time we go up there, there are picnic tables up there, plus public loos. This place is seriously in the middle of nowhere and when you look down the valleys the views go on for miles.

Whichever way you drive there is quite narrow and in places very narrow, but there were a couple of motorhomes/campervans up there so perfectly driveable. But having to pass a Motorhome on the return journey I would suggest people stick to the smaller versions or Campervans.

Basically a great place to get some spread your wings

Recent visit to Dolaucothi Gold Mines. Well worth it, with two mine tours to choose from with both over/underground sections. We went on the Drift Mine Tour and the climb out was very interesting as a bit 'Indiana Jones' style. The tour guides are excellent with some interesting factoids.
I did take some video footage which I will try and put up as soon as can get some time to edit it.

The fields were cut for hay last Tuesday the 25th and last evening (Friday) Gareth came over to get the stuff baled up, which amounted to 21 large bales for the outer less good stuff (bedding) and 159 small bales of the good relatively w**d free good stuff for feed. As we just wanted chicken bedding we just had four large bales to ourselves, Gareth having the rest for his farm and cows up the road. Just in time as it rained last night.

Lignum Vitae wood Artefact

I know this is just a lump of wood that I found in the wheel-pit but I went to pick it up and it was a lot heavier than I thought, at 22kg with dimensions of only 550mm x 250mm x 135mm. When you tap it, it sounds more like a brick and it is very hard.

After a bit of research it turns out that it is Lignum Vitae a rare dense wood. The trees are indigenous to the Caribbean and the northern coast of South America (e.g., Colombia and Venezuela) and have been an important export crop to Europe since the beginning of the 16th century. The wood was once very important for applications requiring a material with its extraordinary combination of strength, toughness and density. Hence its probable use in the old mill.

You can just make out the outlines of an old bracket and what looks like a wooden bearing sleeve embedded into it.

We have just been awarded a Visit Wales 3 Star Rating for the B&B, to go alongside our 3 Star Rating for the self catering Apartment. Hopefully this additional promotional activity helps us to keep busy this year with a higher profile and evidence of our efforts to offer guests a 'credited' service and accommodation, as opposed to all those unofficial AirBnB sites out there, that frequently don't comply with any legal stuff.

If interested in booking use discount code 'Friends10' when booking with us directly.

This is a brief summary of a trip to St Dogmaels on a Tuesday morning, in a search for some locally produced proper stoneground flour, from ‘Y Felin’ known for their fabulous unadulterated real flour, with no additives and not ‘processed’. We had been advised that the best time to visit was a Tuesday morning as there is Local Producers Market every week which was worth a visit, so off we toddled.

Decided to start and open up the B&B rooms again so alongside the existing Double room have now opened after a bit of a refurb the Ensuite bedroom with super king size bed. We will get round to re-opening the so called Green room room as a single as well, but give me some time.
Standard rate for the double is £55/nt and £70/nt for the Ensuite, with discounts for longer stays.
On the Glamping Hay Loft side of things we are shutting this down for now whilst we sort a few things out.

We went for a brief coastal walk out Llangrannog way the other day and got rained on quite a bit between sunshine. We used the free car park at the top of the village, ///campus.sampling.static (what3words). Then walked out to Pen Bilis on the Lochtyn peninsula, not far I know but the rain clouds were getting much bigger.

The car park on the sea front can be a 'challenge' to get to due to narrow roads and its not cheap either, see... https://llangrannogwelfare.org/beachfront-car-park is best kept for those that can't walk easily. Fines are issued!

Trip out the other day to Aberglasney Gardens, near Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire.
Aberglasney was made famous by the BBC television series “A Garden Lost in Time” which followed its restoration. Today it is quite simply one of Wales’ finest gardens, and at its heart lies a fully restored Elizabethan Cloister Garden that is the only surviving example of its kind in the UK today. Beyond this, visitors can explore 10 acres of over 20 different garden styles from formal to woodland, right through to exotic and modern along with the fully restored ground floor of Aberglasney’s grade II* listed mansion offer a stunning venue for exhibitions and events.
It's £12.50 to get in though and is ran by Aberglasney Restoration Trust.

Short video showing the views from hills above Talley yesterday, looking East. Some great walks and views from up there, plus a ruined Abbey to explore.

Talley Abbey was founded in the 1180s by Rhys ap Gruffydd (‘The Lord Rhys’, native ruler of the south Wales kingdom of Deheubarth) for the monks of the Premonstratensian order. This was the first and only abbey in Wales for the Premonstratensians, monks who were also known as the ‘White Canons’ from the colour of their habit. The church tower, standing almost to its full height, is the most impressive feature of the ruined abbey, which never enjoyed the wealth and success of the Cistercian religious settlements – quite widespread throughout Wales – that inspired it. Lack of funds meant that the church was never fully completed, though the outline of the footings demonstrates the scale and ambition of its design. The ruins stand in an idyllic setting beside Talley’s twin lakes. There are also some marvellous walks offering some fantastic views over the valleys and on a clear day Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons.

FISHING CEREDIGION
As part of my research into going for the Anglers Welcome Award from Visit Wales I have not only considered what we can offer here at Maesyfelin Isaf accommodation wise, but what is on offer in our local area as regards to fishing...

Freshwater Angling - River and Coarse
Sea Fishing - Coastal, Boat, Pier

For fishing on the Teifi, there are three associations who have the ‘rights’ to large stretches of it are...
- Llandysul Angling Association
- Llanybydder Angling Association
- Teifi Trout Association
The other key local river to consider is the Aeron.

There are three key fishing lakes pretty close to us here at Maesyfelin Isaf, one of which is pretty much next door...
- Cledlyn Lake Fishery & Cafe (01570 481439)
- The New Celtic Lakes (01570 471081)
- Springwater Lakes (01558 650788)

The waters of Cardigan Bay are renowned for mackerel and there’s plenty of scope for beach casting and shore fishing off Ceredigion’s beaches where keen anglers are rewarded with a variety of species including sea bass and seabream.Whether your preference is for coastal, boat or pier they are all possible with Cardigan bay just 30 minutes away from Maesyfelin Isaf. This may require some personal research by those considering the trip, but this is what I have found.

Boat - Depending on the time of year, fish for mackerel, whiting, spurdogs, rays, lesser spotted dog fish, bull huss shark, cod and sea bream. For modern, professional sea fishing trips from fishing village of New Quay see 'Epic Fishing Trips'

Coastal/Pier - Wide choice of coves, beaches, harbour, quay, pier and cliff.

I appreciate this is just a brief overview but trust it helps and should you be looking for somewhere to stay here in Ceredigion please drop us a line via our website...

Recently did a walk between Cilgerran Castle and the Welsh Wildlife Centre. The Castle is well worth a visit as in a striking location and there is a fair bit left to explore.

The circular walk took in the 'Gorge Walk' going North on the way out, which was good exercise as there are many 'steep' steps and took twice as long as the return journey via the 'Woodland Walk'.

For more information and map, see my blog on the website...
