Pen-y-Gaer (Conwy) submitted by pab on 27th Sep 2008. Site in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol) Wales: Pen-y-Gaer from due west. While on an opportunistic drive up unmarked lanes above Llanbedr-y-cennin this week, I noticed and photographed the fine profile which (from the Portal!) I subsequently found out was Pen-y-Gaer. This shot was taken from the slopes 0.6km due west.

Maen y bardd

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 18th Mar 2021
Maen y bardd submitted by PAB on 18th Mar 2021. A wonderful site to come across unaware, as we hadn't planned this walk around ancient locations.
The leading upright does have a worrying crack, so perhaps it will only last another few thousand years..

St Celynin's Well
Date Added: 20th Mar 2021
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 19th Mar 2021
St Celynin's Well submitted by PAB on 19th Mar 2021. KiwiBetsy's posts back in 2006 of sacred wells in Wales were the inspiration for many of our walks and visits, and I'm still so grateful to her for introducing us to so many delightful and special places!
St Celynin's Well was a particular delight - this photo was taken on our most recent visit, even more special this time as we reached it using the old track from the village.
This photo is taken from inside the well enclosure, towards the lovely church.

Castell Bach (Pen y Graig) submitted by pab on 13th Apr 2008. Castell Bach, near Pen y Graig Farm, as seen from the coastal path between New Quay and Llangranog, Ceredigion.
RCAHMW lists the site as having an 'enclosure complex' with a 90m stretch of rampart & ditch at the edge of a plain, about 100-130m across.
The severe coastal erosion has destroyed much of the original area, but it has left a unique cross section across the ditch which is visible over the bay.
RCAHMW also reports the complex to have included circular features identifia...

Gwal y Filiast
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Aug 2006
Gwal y Filiast submitted by pab on 30th Aug 2006.
Ancient Track alongside Gwal y Filiast.
The 5 point score for 'ambience' is very well deserved - it brought a real smile to my face when this delightful site came into view along a path which had clearly been used for centuries. The alternative name mentioned elsewhere of Dolwilym (William's Meadow) just doesn't do the place justice!
The surrounding area has been sensitively cleared to let the site breathe since PaulM's initial picture.
