This one will leave you searching among the crowns of Hazel, remember it’s all in the name, great little location that in autumn a little further down the path is a mature Crab apple tree that bears an abundance of fruit for making Jam or wine. Locals call it the slip. Follow the footpath down to the now disused road (no traffic) Just off the main road to Fluer-de-lys.
Why Fleur-de-lys - a French name - in a Welsh mining valley. Several explanations are given of its origin. The most popular one seems to be that, because of religious persecution, French Huguenots left their country and settled in this area. They set up a spelter works and a brewery, thus bringing employment. Locals still refer to it as 'The Flower'. Some say Trelyn was the original name.
