Llys Y Fran and RosebushThere is a village of Llys Y Fran but most people know the name because of Llys Y Fran Country Park which surrounds the water reservoir and the impressive dam that holds it back. Picture: Llys Y Fran damThere are car parks on both sides of the dam but the visitor centre with shop, restaurant, childrens play area and angling centre are all on the east side. Picture: Llys Y Fran reservoirThere is an excellent 7 mile track that circumnavigates the reservoir. You can either walk it or ride round on a mountain bike. Bikes are available to hire at the visitor centre. Picture: Bike Hire at the Llys Y Fran Visitor CentreLlys Y Fran is a popular angling centre. You can either fish from a mark on the shore or hire a boat. There are special boats available for wheelchair users too. Picture: Llys Y Fran Visitor CentreThis part of Pembrokeshire is very rural and relatively remote so there isn’t a great deal of accommodation in the vicinity. The nearest hotels would be in Haverfordwest of Narberth. There are one or two B&B’s a bit nearer such as Maenclochog. There is a camp site and touring caravan site at nearby Rosebush. There are self catering cottages in the village of Llys Y Fran. RosebushRosebush sits under the shadow of The Preseli Mountains. The village sprang up when two slate quarries started operating here, The Bellstone quarry and The Rosebush quarry. They operated between 1825 and 1891. A railway line was built to transport the slate but that has long since disappeared. The village platform, however, does still exist. It’s in the beer garden of the village pub, the legendary Tavern Sinc. Picture: Tafarn Sinc at RosebushThe pub was originally built as a temporary structure to service the needs of the quarrymen, so was built from timber covered in corrugated zinc sheets. It must be one of the only ‘tin shed’ pubs in the country but its also a fine pub and well worth a visit. If you go at lunchtime on a Sunday in winter and you want something to eat, you need to book your Sunday lunch in advance. The Post office have a tea room if you prefer.
