Overview

This walk follows the lake via paths and lanes to Lixwm passing a chapel with a connection to John Owen, who walked to Cardigan to plead with Daniel Rowland, the revivalist preacher, to lead worship at the opening of the chapel. Sadly, John Owen died on the return journey.  Returning to the Ysceifiog we follow the footpath on the opposite side of the lake.
