Lady's Walk
The Lady's Walk is one of the two classic circular routes created by Thomas Johnes in his first years at Hafod (1780's) and described by many early visitors. It takes in scenery that varies widely in character, contrasting the relatively gentle landscape of the open parkland with narrow wooded valleys and rushing streams.
