| Old Radnor Church | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Jul 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Old Radnor Church: Whilst we went to have a look at the standing stone, we spent ages walking around the church, enjoying the peace and quiet and the carvings.
Whilst I was excited to see the standing stone, I was immediately disappointed by the memorial carving on it. This is very reminiscent... Read More |

| Harpton Round Barrows | Round Barrow(s) | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Aug 2021 | 2 | 4 | Harpton Round Barrows: Not the most exciting of stops, but interesting, never-the-less. Andrew did try and find the nearby Castle Nimble, but the only access seemed to be through private farmland, and as we didn’t want to trespass, gave up and went onto the more exciting four-poster stone circle. | 168 | 2 | |
| Four Stones (Powys) | Stone Circle | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Aug 2021 | 3 | 4 | Four Stones (Powys): Well worth the stop to see this four-poster. We parked at SO 24562 60871, opposite a small, but complicated road junction, where there was plenty of room for tractors and cars to pass, and walked back to the field.
My first reaction was: "Is this the right place?" on walking... Read More |

| Crossfield Lane Barrow (Kinnerton) | Round Barrow(s) | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Jul 2021 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Crossfield Lane Barrow, near Kinnerton: as this was marked on the OS map, and on our way to Kinnerton, we quickly parked in the field entrance (which was put to pasture) and walked a little way along the edge of the field to take a closer look.
The barrow has been largely lost to ploughing, but a... Read More |

| St Andrew's Church (Presteigne) | Ancient Cross | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Jul 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | St Andrew's Churchyard Cross, Presteigne: From the Kinnerton Standing Stone, we drove into New Radnor to try and get some lunch, only to find all the shops, pubs and cafe all shut down, which meant driving onto Presteigne. Andrew was keen to see the c1510 AD Flemish tapestry in the church, but as ... Read More |

| Kinnerton | Standing Stones | Wales | Powys | Visited | 14th Jul 2021 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Kinnerton Court Standing Stones: We'd walked up into the village first, to see if we could locate the old village wells, but were unsuccessful, as they seemed to have been incorporated into the modern water supply or dried up and disappeared. We did walk up to the Kinnerton Castle Mound, which is ... Read More |

| Arthur's Stone | Chambered Tomb | England | Herefordshire | Visited | 13th Jul 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Arthur's Stone: This was a really weird visit. No sooner had we parked in the small layby next to the stone's enclosure, and I'd started to take photographs, than a lady walked along the lane, right into the enclosure, sat down and started to have a picnic, so she was prominent in all the photograp...

| Higgin's Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Herefordshire | Visited | 13th Jul 2021 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Higgins's Well, Little Birch: We parked outside the church (St Mary's) and walked down the lane towards the well. We could hear water running in the distance, so followed our ears.
A very small stream runs downhill behind the well from Athelstan's Wood currently appearing to flow both into the ... Read More |

| Kilpeck church | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Herefordshire | Visited | 13th Jul 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Kilpeck Church and Castle: Our second church of the day, and I was delighted to find this open. Again, there was a steady stream of visitors, many of whom had a quick look in the church then walked round the outside to look at the corbels and gargoyles.
I bought a book about the church, largely ... Read More |
