Pentre Ifan submitted by Horatio on 22nd Jun 2020. A year later and back at Pentre Ifan for the solstice sunset, all on my own some (apart from a 13yr old Jack Russell this time) I Was expecting at least to see one other (person not Jack Russell) at this site for the sunset.
That morning I'd gone to see the sunrise at Gors Fawr stone circle and even left my house in the rain knowing there was zero chance of seeing a sunrise, I definitely was not disappointed, crap weather but I enjoyed being amongst the stones as the solstice sun rose, the cu...

Log Text: A fascinating and delightful site with a complex and interesting history! The chambers have been subject to repairs using bricks and mortar to create additional pillars, but this does not prevent an appreciation of the site. Although it is situated adjacent to a school and houses, and is close to the main road, this did not detract from the ambience as much as you might expect. The main sound we heard was birdsong.

Log Text: Situated within easy reach of Criccieth this site deserves to be better known even if it has sustained some damage. Rather than accessing it from the car park off the main road I think it is best appreciated by walking along the path by Dylan's restaurant between the railway and the golf course. The path turns sharp left to cross the railway and at this point the capstone is quite prominent on the hillside and is visible as you approach,. The views across the beach and town to the castle are spectacular.

Log Text: It is surprising that such an impressive and easy to access site is so little known - it is almost 'hidden in plain sight' an easy 5 minute walk from the hamlet of Rhoslan. The size of the capstone really needs to be seen to be appreciated!
