Rhandirmwyn: wood carving and sheep shearing


Children staying for a week at a camp run for Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire schools – at Cae Ty’n Gronw, Pwllpriddog - not only sample the outdoor life but also meet a master craftsman who carves intricate walking sticks and lovespoons and experience wood steaming and carving for themselves. They also watch sheep being hand sheared nearby, the farmer cutting through the wool with gentle ease, the shorn sheep branded ‘SJ’.
