Drovers' route to Llanddewi-Brefi, Ceredigion
Facing the bridge below Craig Ifan where the road crosses the Afon Brefi.

The direct drover's route from Llanddewi-brefi to Abergwesyn was via Soar-y-Mynydd and passed by Cwmdulas, Bryn Caregog, Bronbyrfe and Blaendoethie. That way forded the Towi at Pantllwydiau and on via Rhydgoch to Abergwesyn.
At Bronbyrfe, the drovers' road branched, the main part to Soar-y-Mynydd as above, and the second went southwards past Pysgotwr where it left the existing road and continued beyond Bryn Glas to the foot of Hafod Las on the Pysgotwr Fach where it joined up with a trail crossing Esgair Maen from Cwm Dulas. This route can be detected at its junction with the main route at Hafod Las and local tradition has it that there was a tavern here too.The trail from Hafod Las continues past Penyraglangwynt along the outskirts of what is now Coed Penrhiwar eventually linking with the Cwrt-y-Cadno to Rhandir-mwyn road at Troedrhiwbeynon.
