One half expects to see the farmer going past on a camel. It shows how mild the climate is in this part of Llyn, Faerdre means "land adjacent to the court of a commote". In early medieval times the land was worked by bondsmen under the supervision of a "maer biswail" or steward to provide food for the lord of the manor and his court.
