Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by pab on 25th Sep 2012. Evening light at Lligwy, September 2012
Part of the delight of staying on the Caravan Club site on the farm next to Lligwy - being able to capture quiet times.
Shame there wasn't a moon that night!

Bryn Cader Faner submitted by pab on 20th Apr 2012. Beautiful place...the access wasn't as difficult as I'd expected, so I think the it is only fair to acknowledge the improvements made to the paths.
Difficult balance between improving access and keeping it remote & special....
I was a bit reluctant to add to the the amazing images already posted for this site, but this sky tempted me enough to do so!

St Baglan's Church (Llanfaglan)
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone

St Baglan's Church (Llanfaglan) submitted by pab on 19th Apr 2012. St Baglan's Church
A short walk across the fields from the coastal road, the ancient church of St Baglan's is not normally open - but the Friends of Friendless Churches charity does make sure it opens a couple of times a year and is cared for as well as possible.
Even if it is not open, it should be possible to see one of its treasures in the porch, in the form of this fascinating early carved stone.

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.

Stonehenge Aotearoa
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: New Zealand
Visited: Yes on 25th Nov 2011. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 5
Stonehenge Aotearoa submitted by pab on 7th Jun 2012. November 2011
This is the 'Avenue' entrance to the main circle, with my 5ft marker (aka Mrs PAB) standing at the entrance for scale.
There is plenty of information about the purpose and layout - but basically the various monoliths are markers of the limits of events such as the solstice or equinox. It is definitely worth visiting the website to understand the location more fully.

Beuno's Well (Clynnog Fawr) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Jul 2006. St Beuno's Well, or Fynnon Beuno, at Clynnog Fawr. This was once very popular with pilgrims and looked very inviting from the road. (Beware when visiting, as this road is lethal - the traffic whizzes past about an inch from your nose; and, fool that I am, I was there at leaving work time! There are no pavements and it's quite narrow, with no verge. I walked along it trying to catch a glimpse of the dolmen, as well as the well!)

Log Text: The Well is no longer alongside the busy A499 because of the new Clynnog by-pass. The Well is now in a cul-de-sac formed by the by-pass - it must have been awful to walk to it before!
There seems to have been significant damage to the structure of the wall at some point during or prior to 2010, and the well was still locked in Sept 2011.
