Multimap link: Map of The Begwns<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head west away from your car and the road. The area is covered in paths, (mainly sheep tracks) as you walk you will begin to see in front of you what is known as The Roundabout (in good visability), a clump of trees surrounded by a stonewall is the highest point of the Begwns. Apparently, this was once an ancient beacon, more recently it was one of the beacons lit for the millennium. As legend has it, the small lake below was the location for the slaying of the last Dragon in Wales<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would advise you take the appropriate footwear and clothing as well as an Ordnance Survey map and compass. Please let someone at the hotel know where you\u2019re going and adhere to the countryside code at all times.If you have a dog, be aware that sheep are present therefore dogs should be kept on a lead. Between February and April is the lambing season, farmers can be particularly nervous of dogs loose around their flocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
