Hiking
The Bearded Lake or Llyn Barfog is a pretty mountain lake below Mynydd y Llyn. It's fringed with water lilies and other plants which may explain its name. Legend has it that once a monster lived here, terrorising the local people. King Arthur came to rid the area of the menace, lassoing the monster with magical chains and dragging it out of the lake with his horse Llamrai. You can even see the horse’s footprint in a nearby rockface - Carn March Arthur.
