This most interesting walk sets off from the National Wool Museum of Wales in Drefach to follow a series of footpaths and trails through this delightful corner of Carmarthenshire, which became the centre of the Welsh woollen industry during the late 1800s and early 1900s. We visit three rivers, all of which flow into the River Teifi just to the north, but which were key to the development of the woollen industry in this area, both as a source of power to drive the machinery and to scour and wash raw wool and finished fabrics. Although not a particularly long walk, it is fairly arduous, with a number of ascents and descents into and out of the river valleys.
