Barclodiad-y-Gawres (Anglesey) submitted by nicoladidsbury on 19th Apr 2006. The bay of Porth Trecastell
It was getting dark when I left the chambered cairn of Barcloiad y Gawres. The full moon had risen, and was pouring light over the bay of Trecastell. I caught this photo of the waves crashing against the rocks. Then sat quietly, and watched the moon rise, its light reflecting across the bay, broken by the plusing of the waves. A magic time. :)

Bodfan Standing Stone
Date Added: 4th Feb 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Apr 2006
Bodfan Standing Stone submitted by nicoladidsbury on 24th Apr 2006. The stone is listed on the OS maps. The nearest farm is called Bodfan, so it seemed like a sensible name, although it may have a proper name.
The hills in the distance are to the south, from left to right - Bwlch Mwar, Gryn Goch, Gryn Ddu, and the three peaks of Yr Eifl, the first one if which is the marvellous hillfort of Tre'r Ceiri.

This place is so impressive.
And so peaceful.
The sun was very low when we were there, and we were the only people. The only other sounds was the breeze in the trees that surround the settlement and the birds.
A magic place.
