Route 13: route and directions

Historical traces
Ynys-felen is a Grade II* listed historic estate in the Dihewyd area. It dates from the early 18th century, although it may have earlier origins. Its unusual layout, with an external kitchen, is considered rare in southwest Wales. Its protected status, date and architectural form offer different perspectives on the estate’s history.
The remains of an ancient fortification stand on the summit of the high hill of Moel Dihewyd; their date is unknown. The contrast in date with Ynys-felen is clear: the estate dates from the early 18th century, while the date of the fortification remains uncertain.
A landscape description from 1849 places the historic parish of Dihewyd near the Vale of AĂ«ron and not far from the River Mydur. The Red Lion is recorded as a pub in Dihewyd from the 1840s to 1850. These 19th-century landscape and place references add to the historic architectural and fortification remains.
