On the farm is a landmark glacial feature called Cerrig Hyllod (‘The Ugly Stones’) and visitors are welcome to follow the woodland path along the riverbank and up a fairly steep hill to the stony outcrop. Local history relates how these giant stones served in earlier times as a pulpit for a popular Welsh preacher who lived in the valley. Within walking distance, you can visit Rock Mills, one of the few working traditional woollen mills left in the country, and the Honorwood Flock farm and shop specialising in Shetland and Icelandic fleeces and Angora mohair. Walkers can enjoy part of the riverside Teifi Trail nearby, and our cycling visitors can join Route 82 of the National Cycle Network, which will take them through some wonderful scenery to the coast at Cardigan, or inland to the wild beauty of the nature reserves around Tregaron. For fishermen, the farm borders the Clettwr River and the Llandysul Angling Association is located nearby, for details of local salmon and trout fishing on the River Teifi. The Llandysul Paddlers Canoe Club offers white water rafting, canoes and kayaks for some spectacular scenery along the Teifi for the water sports enthusiasts.
