It was one of Wales' foremost sheep-farming communities. For centuries the inhabitants remained true to the old traditions that were the heritage of the monks of Strata Florida, the area's first sheep farmers. By 1967, following the catastrophic blizzards twenty years previously, the last family had left. It is now a haven for ramblers and red kites. This warm little memoir recalls the close community that once inhabited the upper Tywi Valley. The author, Hugh Jones was the last shepherd remaining of those born in the valley.
