Castell Cidwm = Robbers' Castle (There is a hotel here, nearer the road, which we have not yet sampled but should).
There is a story of long standing that nearby from Llyn Cwellyn green ladies came out of the lake, who seduced the local boys and took them back into the lake wherein, it is said, if you look over the side of a boat, you may see the boys tending the green cattle of the Lord of the Lake. To this day, if you look out on Afon Gwyrfai between Castell Cidwm and Plas y Nant, you may see from the train in the river, the green hair of the Ladies of the Lake. Please do not get out of the train to look for the green ladies; you may never come back.
