Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 8th Sep 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
St Cybi's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. St Cybi was a 6th century Cornishman who is said to have created this spring by striking a rock with his staff.
Climb the stone stile in the corner of the graveyard of the Parish Church in Langybi and then follow the fence line that runs at right angles to the graveyard wall. Once through the gorse at the far side of the field, a bridge will take you over a stream to the substantial ruins of St Cybi’s Wellhouse and the custodian’s house next to it. The well basin is in the centre of t...

Log Text: 2nd time lucky.... When we first visited, we had the same problem as Angie - following a sign for the well which seemed to point instead to a rather poor construction.
How fortunate we were to have had another chance while in the area this month - this is a very special place. In terms of access, it might be difficult to visit the well if you are anxious about livestock. There were some rather frisky young cattle in the field across which the fingerpost directs you. We went instead through the cemetery, but this still involves crossing their field a short distance.

Guinivrit submitted by thecaptain on 25th Mar 2006. Guinivrit allée couverte.
The remains of this allée couverte clearly show the rise in sea level over the past 4000 odd years. Twice a day it gets a wash.

Ty'n Y Pant Stone

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)

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.
No comments possible on access/condition etc for the site itself, but hopefully we will visit again sometime in the future.

Log Text: Visited on 23rd July while on a 'field visit' walk organised by the South Wales Geologists' Association, led by Alan Bowring.
We got to this towards the end of a 9 mile circular walk, but it could be reached fairly easily without doing all that - we started from car park next to playground in Ystradowen SN752124. The area around the hillock on which the cairn sits was (and probably is normally) very boggy.

Log Text: Visited on 23rd July while on a 'field visit' walk organised by the South Wales Geologists' Association, led by Alan Bowring.
Focus for the walk was the local geology and industrial archaeology, so we didn't get up to the cairn itself and I cannot therefore report how damaged its centre now is. Definitely worth a walk though - we started from car park next to playground in Ystradowen SN752124 and did a circular 9 mile route via Bryn-henllys Bridge, mainly using the routes of old tramways once used in local quarrying activities.
There are some very boggy stretches - expect many little diversions to avoid!

St Keyne's Well submitted by AngieLake on 13th Sep 2008. The area of the well, on a corner where two lanes meet.
En route from Liskeard to Duloe turn off [signposted to St Keyne's Well] on sharp bend in St Keyne village. About a mile downhill [a narrow road!], and this otherworldly place is on your left. Steps lead into well area from the lane, and from the road. Really, really worth a visit!

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.

Gardoms Edge 1 submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Gardom’s Edge Prehistoric Rock Art, Derbyshire GR: SK273730
One of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in the Peak District. Discovered in 1965 on a large earthfast boulder 25m east of the enclosure , the design consists of a series of cup and ringmarks together with a small spiral and two circles that enclose multiple cupmarks. Unfortunately, the original boulder had to be reburied some years ago as the pattern was quickly eroding away, but an exact replica fibre glass cast now s...
