This photo was submitted to the Portal by Ken Mumford in the hope that we could identify it. As Ken wrote: "I have been going through some old 35mm slides. Attached is one I took when taking secondary school pupils from my Swindon school on a holiday to South Wales. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it is between 1979 and 1986."

Virtuous Well submitted by Thorgrim on 20th Jan 2004. The Virtuous Well was formerly known as St Anne's Well. Situated in Trellech at SO503051, the well is one of nine that were once here. Each was reputed to cure a different malady. You should drop a pebble into the well and make a wish. If many bubbles appear, then your wish will be granted, if only a few then you will be disappointed.

Carreg Samson, Abercastle

Carreg Samson, Abercastle submitted by pab on 26th Jun 2006. Confirming both the photo and the site as worthy winner of the Spring 2006 prize!
We loved the long late afternoon shadows, and the one of the 'principal sheep' made us realise that many ancient animal drawings make more sense if thought of as shadow tracings? The theory falls down rather for cave paintings though!
One wonderful thing about this site is the fact that there is a 'CL' campsite next to the field - what a view to wake up to!

Visited: Yes on 21st Jul 2006
Bedd Arthur submitted by pab on 21st Jul 2006. Setting the scale: Looking due East over Bedd Arthur, it actually looks much smaller than expected from many pictures, and this one lets the landscape re-assert itself rather well! From the same spot, Carn Leidi near St David's was also visible looking due West

St Govan's Well submitted by pab on 17th Dec 2006. St Govan had rather a fine view from his chapel and well! The 'slodge' of colour in the cliffs across the bay is far more recent, caused by a rock fall in the last year...close-up to follow!

The Main Chamber sitting just below the wonderful top of Carn Llidi, a wonderful place to spend a winter Sunday with the sun shining on the Irish Sea, just as the sun was shining on the Irish Rubgy team in Cardiff!
