Sgwd Gwladus Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2007
Sgwd Gwladus Stone submitted by pab on 12th Mar 2007. Sgwd Gwladus Stone.
This magnificent stone is above the Sgwd Gwladus waterfall.
It does not seem to be the 'Logan' or Rocking Stone shown on the OS Map - at least, we couldn't get this one to rock! It therefore seem to justify a mention in its own right.

Skomer Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2008
Skomer Stone submitted by pab on 19th Jul 2008. The stone referred to on the Portal as Skomer stone - also referred to in leaflets as 'Harold Stone' - is close to remains of 'huts, fields and cairns which represent one of the most complete areas of pre-historic settlement in the British Isles'.
I have to admit however that, on this occasion, ancient sites hardly featured in my photos when I visited for the first time in July 2008 - puffins landing & walking within feet of me won without contest. I think the undergrowth would have to be ...

Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Caithness)
Visited: Yes on 18th Aug 2011
South Yarrows Broch submitted by pab on 18th Aug 2011. SolarMegalith's photo PID80083 - being of curious temperament, I just had to see what was in the dark patch of SolarMegalith's photo, so I opened it on my PC.
I was very surprised to be able to get this amount of additional detail from the image on the Portal: apparently able to see what was under the water!
Closer look - especially at the lower lines of stone - showed an excellent reflection instead. I found it interesting though how much more detail could be seen, even in a compress...

St Baglan's Church (Llanfaglan)
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 19th Apr 2012
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.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Breward's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Oct 2006. This well was thought to cure sore eyes and it was customary to leave a pin or coin as thanks. Despite the well's picturesque location it is now dry with it’s water piped away to a nearby farm.
In St Breward, at a bend in the road by the school, a lane lined with several houses leads to the right and down the hill. At the end of the lane between 2 houses is a gate and once through this the path plunges down into a wooded valley. St Brewards Well is nearly at the bottom on your left hand sid...
