Explore the local legend
Cwmgwyn Farm sits within the parish of Myddfai. The area is known for the famous Physicians of Myddfai, a father and his three sons who many believe were the forefathers of modern medicine. The family and their ancestors were physicians to the royal court from the 13th century well into the 1800's and their collection of medicinal remedies, known as 'Recipes of the Physicians of Myddfai' was the first of it's kind. Subsequent studies have shown that as a result, medicine in Wales was far in advance of most of Europe. Over the years, the story of the Physicians of Myddfai has become bound up with the legend of Llyn Fan Fach, or The Lady of the lake. There are many versions of the tale, why not explore the story further during your visit - it is sure to interest children and adults alike.
