Waun Llwyd.
Waun Llwyd. submitted by Postman : They can be a bit lahdy dah about visiting these stones, elsewhere they have supplied an email address ( kmpartridge@btinternet.com )to beg for permission to see the stones, we obliged but received no reply, so we just turned up and asked at the house, they said yes, had they said no we'd have burned down their house and tortured them whilst extolling the virtues of footpaths.

Pair of standing stones to the south of the main Preseli ridge in Pembrokeshire

The stones (or at least one of them) can be viewed from the minor road that runs from Mynachlog-ddu to Crymych. The road also runs past Mountain burial chamber.

Note: The stones are on private land - permission should be sought from the nearby farm before visiting.

Waun Llwyd. submitted by Horatio : I accessed this site from the minor road that runs between Mynachlog-ddu to Crymych. Today I visited after a long spell of dry weather but can see this would be a over a marsh or rather a bog in usual conditions. I met the farmer (Martin) whos' land the stones are on, walking in a field before reaching the stones.. A very nice guy and very helpful, seems I visited a day after a couple of ladi...
