Lady's Well (Holystone)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Would like to visit
Lady's Well (Holystone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 5th Dec 2004. During the first half of the 12th century a Priory was built at Holystone as a home for some Augustinian Canonesses. Since then the well has been known as Lady's Well after these religious ladies who cared for the well right up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. They are said to have added the cross that reflects so splendidly in the water.

Bedd Arthur
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jul 2006
Bedd Arthur submitted by pab on 21st Jul 2006. Setting the scale: Looking due East over Bedd Arthur, it actually looks much smaller than expected from many pictures, and this one lets the landscape re-assert itself rather well! From the same spot, Carn Leidi near St David's was also visible looking due West

Gwal y Filiast
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Aug 2006
Gwal y Filiast submitted by pab on 30th Aug 2006.
Ancient Track alongside Gwal y Filiast.
The 5 point score for 'ambience' is very well deserved - it brought a real smile to my face when this delightful site came into view along a path which had clearly been used for centuries. The alternative name mentioned elsewhere of Dolwilym (William's Meadow) just doesn't do the place justice!
The surrounding area has been sensitively cleared to let the site breathe since PaulM's initial picture.

Loch of Houlland
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Loch of Houlland submitted by pab on 15th Oct 2006. View south over the Loch of Houlland and its broch.
The next broch south in the chain around the Shetland coast was sited on the hill at Sae Breck which can be located on this picture from the square remains on the horizon of the WWll building which was built on the same site. There are no readily identifiable remnants of the Sae Breck broch, but its position can be located through the trig point shown on OS maps.

Tonga Fort, Scatness
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Fort or Dun
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2006
Tonga Fort, Scatness submitted by PAB on 22nd Oct 2006. Tonga Fort is very close to the site known as Ness of Burgi, a headland on which another fort has been excavated. This map places the Tonga Fort ramparts in context, especially when read in conjunction with the RCAHMS description referred to on the main Tonga Fort site.

St Ninian's Isle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 17th Nov 2006
St Ninian's Isle submitted by pab on 17th Nov 2006. St Ninian’s Isle lies off the western coast of the most southerly part of the Shetland Mainland. It is linked to the mainland by a beautiful stretch of sand (called a tombola), which locals advised us would only be covered by the sea in extreme storms every decade or so. It is an absolutely wonderful place.
St Ninian’s Isle was the site of a valuable find of a hoard of ecclesiastical silver-ware in July 1958, and it was also found to have been in use through the Iron and Bronze ages.

St Govan's Well submitted by pab on 17th Dec 2006. St Govan had rather a fine view from his chapel and well! The 'slodge' of colour in the cliffs across the bay is far more recent, caused by a rock fall in the last year...close-up to follow!

The Main Chamber sitting just below the wonderful top of Carn Llidi, a wonderful place to spend a winter Sunday with the sun shining on the Irish Sea, just as the sun was shining on the Irish Rubgy team in Cardiff!

Fan Foel Cairns submitted by pab on 3rd Mar 2007. The cairn Andy is referring to is on the farthest point - the slightly closer and higher point is Carmarthen Fan, 749m. By the time we reached there, hailstones helped us decide to leave the Fan Foel Cairns until another day!
