"The walk begins in the village of Llanddewi Brefi, which despite its diminutive size boasts one of the most important sites relating to the patron saint of Wales, St David (Dewi Sant). At a church meeting to discuss the Pelagian heresy, David struggled to make himself heard. He placed a cloth on the ground, which immediately rose to form a mound from which he could address the crowd.

Llanddewi Brefi is now a place name familiar to television audiences through the comedy sketch show 'Little Britain'. The village is so peaceful, it's hard to imagine its latter day notoriety.

The world famous stick-maker Dafydd Davies has his workshop in the village, and Trevor took to the opportunity to visit his workshop, and request a walking stick repair of his own. Dafydd's latest stick designs feature detailed depictions of the red kite - a bird once endangered, but now enjoying increasing populations, particularly in mid-Wales.

From Llanddewi Brefi, Trevor and Maddy walked to Tregaron along an old drovers lane. From there, they progressed to the ruins of Strata Florida. This still impressive Cistercian site is now in ruins. It's managed by Cadw and is open to the public. There is also a small museum displaying some of the more interesting artefacts discovered there.

The walk ends in the Hafod Estate, which can be entered from Devil's Bridge. This estate was modified by Thomas Johnes, who inherited it in 1780. Johnes wanted to create a picturesque landscape, in keeping with the fashion of the times. To this end he diverted river courses, experimented with new gardening methods, and strived to create circuit walks which allowed the visitor to enjoy a succession of views and experiences.

The highlight of our visit here was the Ladies' Walk with its cascading waterfall. While this was created over two centuries ago, it still has the power to charm."
