I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain visited on 5th Oct 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 A 2.1 metre tall standing stone in a cattle field just to the south of Lower Broadmoor farm, a couple of kilometres to the north of Wolf's Castle in Pembrokeshire. Not so easy to get to as it looks on the map, with many gates across the footpath and ankle deep mud caused by the cattle which use this track. When I saw a way into the field, it looked to be the best way to the stone, but a herd of young cattle saw me and came charging over towards me, so I skidaddled pretty quickly, getting wet in a boggy bit halfway up to my knees. I then satisfied myself with looking at this fine stone from the trackway, and noticed another huge stone in the hedge, which may have lost its top. Made me wonder if these were once a pair or more.
