Sightseeing
The river Teifi runs at the bottom of our garden and there is a footpath that follows the river along in either direction. Great for spotting wildlife such as herons, swans, kingfishers and if you are very lucky possibly an otter. It is possible to kayak down the river or buy day fishing permits from Llandyssul angling club.
