On arrival at Llangorse Lake we get a good view of the Beacons
The ducks are only interested in one thing
The lake reveals itself sparingly
Wonder if Sally took a better picture?
We head to the reconstruction of a crannog - a mini man made island - see link below to read more
The best view
Clear water
We set off across the common
A beautiful morning
The lake is surrounded by reeds and the path is well away from the edge in the interests of the wildlife
Mynydd Llangorse, over 500m, is nearby
The dew shows up on the spider webs
This one is striking
We regroup
And set off along the board walk
We are not expecting rain - perhaps the cattle know something?
Another view of lake and mountain
We head slightly uphill
To Llangasty church
We go though the gate
And see several gravestones to the Raikes family members
A Victorian painted interior
On the hillside fern is being harvested. It will be compressed and used for biomass heating
Heading along the road we read about Treberfydd walled garden
And yes, it is open
A very pleasant place to be
On this sunny morning
Perchance to dream
After a few hundred yards we reach the village hall where we picnic and look at more views
The only hill of the day, which leads to ...
... a great view of Fan y Big and Pen y Fan
Turning round we can still see Llangorse lake
Our return journey takes us along a quiet track
The wild sloes look good this year
We reach Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn Common
A damp place full of reeds
And we are soon back on Llangorse Common, where these horses live
They look well
And are used to tourists
A nice cup of tea and a laugh at the end.
