Dance of the naked lesbians proves man is not the only gay in the village

[Crackingham]

When Britain’s hottest comedy duo immortalised Llanddewi Brefi with the phrase “the only gay in the village” they had no idea just how exotic the place really was.

For while the remote Welsh village is now famous as the home of Little Britain’s fictional gay man Daffyd, it is a haven for gay women in real life.

Each year lesbians are said to dance naked on the surrounding hills and until recently there was a women-only commune three miles away whose inhabitants were rumoured to be armed.

“The biggest thing round here is actually the lesbian population,” said Ron Dukelow, who runs the Cambria Arts Association. “They’ve been here for years. There are a few in and around the village. It’s still in some ways quite a masculine society here and it’s easier for gay women to be themselves than gay men.”
