Welsh Myths and Waterfalls Walk

Update: 2025-05-29

Description

Join a walk to a lake in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) to hear how Ranger Emma Kolano-Rogers made the brave decision to step away from a career she’d trained for at university but was causing her anxiety.

A few years later she’s knee deep in mud, falling over in bogs and learning how to snot rocket, and she’s happier than ever.

She takes host Claire Hickinbotham to find the ‘Lady of the Lake’ and shares some Welsh folklore tales on the short but steep walk.

Tips for your Nature Fix

Claire met Emma at Llyn y Fan Fach Car Park - Google Maps and the walk followed a track up to the lake.

There was one tight spot past a locked gate that makes this walk unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies.

And if you fancy a little bit of what Emma’s getting, have a look at this, Walking in nature for wellbeing | National Trust, or this National Trust Jobs :: Countryside
