Llech Y Dribedd submitted by Horatio on 6th Jul 2026. Out and about yesterday, a bit tired so more driving than walking, in fact that tired I was going to do two sketches of this chamber from different angles as it was I just went with the classic view as on approach from the stile in to field. I'll leave the page opposite for the 'other view' to be done another day. This chamber is another one of those 'chunkies' I rather like. I always think the orthostat's don't fit the capstone. Either that, or the capstone's that darned heavy its pushed ea...

Carn Meini submitted by MikeMaddams on 15th Jan 2023. One of the most enigmatic sites I’ve ever visited. Heavy cloud until we touched the first stones at the summit, then we were blessed with the most stunning sunshine and the colours around us lit up. Beautiful place.

Visited: Would like to visit
Parc-y-Cromlech submitted by enkidu41 on 3rd Jun 2004. SM 9422 3907
Better known as the Penrhiw Burial Chamber this damaged tomb has a large rectangular capstone resting on 3 uprights. It was re-erected some years ago.
Shots from other angles would have been taken but a small herd of highly inquisitive bullocks is not conducive to creative composition or a steady camera hand!

Verulamium Museum
Trip No.225 Entry No.140 Date Added: 16th Sep 2026
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Hertfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2025. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Verulamium Museum submitted by Thorgrim on 9th Nov 2005. The Verulamium Museum is built in the style of Ancient Rome. It contains a wonderful collection of objects very well presented. Striking tableux bring the archaeology to life, but the stars of the museum are the gigantic mosaic floors. Go there - it's a must! Full details of contents, opening times and admission charges can be seen here

Log Text: Stop off to have a look at the Verulamium roman city remains, when on my way back from Essex. I haven't been here since primary school, and I still remember the Roman fort I made out of cardboard. What an excellent museum, with some tremendous finds and displays. Genuine roman wall paintings and superb mosaics incorporated into the displays.

Log Text: From the museum, walk across Verulamium Park for a look at the covered mosaic floor from a large house, complete with hypercaust flues etc underneath. A feature is the mosaic panel which was built wrongly, at a 45 degrtee rotation to what it should have been!

Log Text: Much of the city walls can be traced, and now surround the park. I didn't have time to see much of these, but I did go to look at the main remaining stone section, which somehow survived demolition. Most of the Abbey was built using the roman wall and city stone, brick and tile.
