Llyn y Fan Fach sits beneath the ridgeline of Bannau Sir Gaer in the Brecon Beacons National Park. In this Vlog I explore this epic scenerey and the remnants of the landscape’s glacial past. Along the way I'll visit Picws Du, Fan Brycheiniog, Llyn Y Fan Fawr and the crash site of a de Havilland Vampire a British Jet just below Fan Hir.

A folklore legend connected with Llyn y Fan Fach is the myth of ‘The lady of the lake’. In the folktale, a young farmer of the 13th century spotted the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen emerge from the lake, she was a princess from the kingdom of fairies. He courted the fairy princess by baking her bread and after 3 attempts he succeeded in winning her hand in marriage on the condition that if he hit her three times she would leave him. He complied easily because she was so beautiful and they were happy for years bringing up a family at his farm near Myddfai, with her magic dowry of farm animals.

In time the inevitable happened he hit his wife and she disappeared back into the lake taking her prized animals with her , leaving the farmer with her sons. The sons once grown became known as the “Physicians of Myddfai” who became physicians to the English royal court.
