The location where Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka in 247 B.C. - a place of real peace, despite the crowds!

Cat Hole Cave
Date Added: 21st Oct 2013
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jan 2013
Cat Hole Cave submitted by pab on 29th Jan 2013. Cat Hole Cave interior. As access seems no longer possible, I thought people might like to see some photos from inside the cave.
This shows one of the recesses at the back of the cave - there were many niches like this, most being very narrow.
We didn't have particularly good lighting, so couldn't investigate properly. Seeing the cave definitely helped me understand the description of how the art was found, and how it might have been missed for so long too.

Presaddfed

Presaddfed submitted by pab on 25th Sep 2012. Presaddfed, September 2012
Timber support which features in most photos on Portal has now been removed, so the more southerly chamber looks even better.
Delightful location - the walk over the field feels more like a procession, with the chambers looking more impressive all the time.

Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2012
Barclodiad-y-Gawres (Anglesey) submitted by pab on 24th Sep 2012. Even without being able to get into the chamber itself, it is definitely worth making the short trip from the car park to look through the gates.
The arrangements at the time of our visit were as displayed on the notices posted by Drew (escorted visits at weekends up till end of October) - which nearly made us decide there would be nothing to see!
You may not be able to make out the actual designs because of the lighting etc, but there is certainly enough to see through the gates to ma...

Druidston Stones
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jun 2012
Druidston Stones submitted by pab on 4th Jun 2012. Standing about 6ft high, this magnificent stone is surrounded by numerous small stones - but they do not give the impression of being packing etc.
The impression is more one of them giving some protection to the stone - which would be odd if it had been placed their in recent times as a rubbing stone for cattle.
