Myddfai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myddfai is a small village in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is situated by Llandovery and the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons. It is a very quaint beautiful village, surrounded by countryside and hills, a location for ramblers and plant enthusiasts.
The Black Mountains are the setting for many tales of myth and legend. One such myth is the story of the Lady of the Lake. The lake she came from is called Llyn y fan Fach in the Black Mountains. She appeared out of the lake and married a farmer. The couple had three children, who grew up to be the Physicians of Myddfai[1]

[edit] Llwynywermwd
In 2006, Prince Charles started looking for a base for his visits to Wales. Carmarthenshire was seen as a favourite location due to its quiet nature, and that the Prince was a frequent visitor to the local country house of the Tig Bourke family.
In late 2006, the Prince via the Duchy of Cornwall made an offer on Llwynywermwd (English - Llwynywormwood), a former coach house set in the 190 acre grounds of a ruined mansion. Contracts were exchanged in November 2006, with Clarence House saying that the property may be let to holidaymakers when the Prince and Duchess were not there. Prince Charles made his first official visit on 16 March 2007[2]
