Walking and Rambling in Llanddeusant
Overview
A popular walk to Llyn-y-Fan-Fach, home of the legendary Lady of the Lake. The story tells of a lady who came out the lake and married a local farmer, and if he struck her 3 times she went back in the lake and took the animals! Start the walk from the hostel doorstep. The direct walk takes approx 2-3hrs but the more the adventurous route takes a whole day.

So much to see! but don't let us tell you what to do - you're in a superb place for a walking holiday so get out and explore.
