Victoria Bay
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jul 2008
Victoria Bay submitted by pab on 25th Jul 2008. Victoria Bay Hillfort. Close to Marloes, and facing across to Gateholm and Skokholm Islands, the series of defensive ramparts and ditches can easily be seen from along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
As can be seen from this photo taken from the east, the cliffs along this stretch provide a very good barrier. This leaves a relatively short landward stretch to be defended.
The triple defensive arc is ringed.

Visited: Yes on 15th Jan 2021
Unstan submitted by PAB on 15th Jan 2021. As seen from the road....so decided to have a look! It is always nice to come across something unexpectedly, and we hadn't really researched very well before arriving in Orkney (sorry Portal, awful, I know!).
As is obvious from the photos already posted, it was the right decision...

Visited: Yes on 20th Sep 2010
Ty'n Y Pant Stone submitted by pab on 7th Aug 2011. Ty'n Y Pant Stone. The dragonfly is of course one of the oldest surviving creatures, so it seemed only right for us to wait until he had soaked up some sunshine.
He obviously thinks Ty'n Y Pant Stone is worthy of close inspection...anyone know otherwise?

Log Text: Viewed from campsite at Aberbran in the evening sunlight while we were in the Beacons for the 2010 Portal day, so this image was taken from 1 mile away.

Troy Town Maze submitted by pab on 26th Oct 2010. Troy Town Maze: showing the extent of erosion in June 2009. This is the view looking west, with Bishop Rock Lighthouse visible top left, about 4 miles away.
In such as exposed location, it must be very difficult for the soil and turf to recover from the damage caused by visitors tracing the curves.

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."

Tobar Chaluim Chille (Mull)
Date Added: 22nd May 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Scotland (Isle of Mull)
Visited: Would like to visit
Tobar Chaluim Chille (Mull) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Oct 2006. Tobar Chaluim Chille today is marked only by a pair of distinguished lichen clad stones but the landowner speaks of a stick holding a cup in recent history. The water is apparently still used in St Kilda’s Church, Lochbuie for christenings and it may be the unidentified well near Loch Buie whose medicinal properties were mentioned in a 17th century account of the area.
