    Coed-y-Bwnydd (SO365068) is a large, multivallate Iron Age camp with a massive mound protecting the entrance. Excavations in the 1970s revealed four roundhouses, and evidence of occupation over a considerable period. It is a popular destination for walkers, especially in bluebell time. A plaque at the entrance states that the site was “Presented to the National Trust by Captain Geoffrey Crawshay in memory of Sgt R.A.Owens, Royal Air Force, of Llanfair Kilgeddin, killed on active service on August 7th 1943 aged 21.”

    Used to visit regularly. Unfortunately due to disability, no longer possible. Beautiful and peaceful at any time of year, but April when the bluebells are flowering is a riot of sensory delight. Beare of startling pheasants when walking there, they coan give you a fright!
