Teifi-Pools, Ffair Rhos

Teifi Pools a group of lakes Llyn Teifi, Llyn Hir, Llyn Gorlan, and Llyn Egnant, make up the Teifi Pools, which can be reached by a small road from Ffair Rhos running to the North of the pools.

Llyn Teifi is the source of the Teifi, about 1500 ft up the western slopes of the Cambrian Mountains.

The lakes were famed even in medieval times for the quality of trout and eel fishing to be had here, and they are still fished and (since their damming in the 1950s) now provide a drinking water supply for the surrounding area and the coastal belt of Ceredigion to the West.

The landscape here is stark, wild, and extraordinarily beautiful. Around the lakes there are good opportunities for walking.

There is a circular walk of approx. 10km (6 miles) that passes between the lakes. The route forms a loop passing along the Western edge of Llyn Egnant (with Llyn Bach, Llyn Gorian, and Llyn Hir lying to the West of the path), and crosses the Teifi where it flows out of Llyn Teifi as a stream.
