‘Ian was a really good walking guide – very knowledgeable about local history, geology and culture – as well as filling in with lots of folklore and local tales – of giants, King Arthur, and Stonehenge! He took us to places inland that we wouldn’t have known to visit ourselves, and paced and pitched all of this to our needs and interests.

Just to say I loved the tours – for someone who finds maps reading and instructions a nightmare, you brought the area to life for me in away I couldn’t have done in a million years.

What’s in a Name?

In case you might be confused about cottage names used throughout the website – Foxglove Cottage is the self-catering cottage we rent out. It is co-located with another cottage – Dan Y Mynydd, which the owners, Ian and Carol Pattinson, live in. Dan Y Mynydd means ‘Below The Mountain’ in Welsh and is pronounced Dan uh munith)​.

Both cottages were originally outbuildings to Tregynon Farm which still exists today, but were sold off in about 1995. to distinguish the cottages from the farm, we refer to both cottages, together, as ‘Tregynon Cottages‘. Glad we cleared that up!
