  1. One of the many Neolithic chambered long barrows around Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Walesfor today's #StandingStoneSunday offering.

    Pen-y-Wyrlod above the Afon Gwy/River Wye; the long barrow itself has been ploughed down, leaving these stones from its chamber exposed.

    This visit May 2012.

  3. Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    The wrecked Pen y Beacon stone circle, situated at the foot of the summit of the same name (Hay Bluff in English). Only one sizable stone remains standing, although there are numerous smaller stones buried in the turf. Tremendous views and sometimes an ice-cream van.

    This visit May 2012 while walking Offa's Dyke Path.

  5. Ari Rex On January 2019 Canberra had one of the most spectacular lightning storms ever. It passed the city from West to East over the black mountains and continued towards Brindabella mountains #Canberra #LightningStorm #StormChaser #WeatherPhotography #Thunderstorm #NaturePower #BlackMountains

  6. Last stone standing in Pen-y-Beacon (Hay Bluff) stone circle for today's #StandingStoneSunday.

    Rather forlorn next to a parking area now (although it does sometimes have its own ice-cream van), the circle stands at the foot of Pen-y-Beacon/Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains. It has great views all the way to Y Mynydd Ddu on a clear day.

    This visit April 2010 on a walk from Talgarth to Hay-on-Wye along the northern summit of the Black Mountains.

  10. A moody day in South Wales for #StandingStoneSunday.

    This is Carreg Wen Fawr Y Rugos stone row (something of a rarity in this area), up on the limestone hills above Llangynidr, with marvellous views north across the Usk valley to the Black Mountains.

    The row consists of a very long, tapering recumbent stone (if upright it would be over 2m tall) and at least 8 other smaller standing stones.

    Visited on a drizzly day in May 2010.

  13. Last summer I started on a long held ambition to walk the River Wye/Afon Gwy from Severn to source. After doing 70 miles of the #WyeValleyWalk a combination of train difficulties, worsening weather and finally Covid stopped my progress at Hay on Wye.

    Delighted to be back on it today, a short 8 mile section of changeable spring weather and stunningly beautiful scenery between Hay and Boughrood, the Black Mountains an ever present companion.

    Welcome to Talgarth at the foot of the Black Mountains in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Talgarth is an ideal base for visitors wishing to explore the area whether it’s the high peaks or the lush pastures of the Wye and the Usk valleys.

  19. Another of my very favourite standing stones for #StandingStoneSunday: Maen Llwyd (one of lots of stones with that name) may be the highest standing stone above sea level in Wales, at about 560m OD.

    It's wonderfully situated in a natural amphitheatre, surrounded by ridges of the Black Mountains, below the Bronze Age cairn on Pen y Gadair Fawr.

    This visit April 2010.

  21. Frosty morning from mid week. Much milder today with the snowdrops at their peak #blackmountains #breconbeacons #Wales

  22. The eastern profile of Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Wales, on a winter's evening from the Malvern Hills, some 40 miles away. Temperature inversion fills the lower valleys with white mist. Pen-y-Fal (the Sugarloaf) is the lone peak far left, Pen-y-Beacon (Hay Bluff) the prow of the escarpment far right. In between are the summits of Pen Cerrig-Calch, Pen Allt-Mawr, Pen-y-Gadair Fawr and Waun Fach, the highest in the range.

  27. After a peaceful week away in the #blackmountains #wales the thought of returning to the bird app is anxiety inducing. Time to make some new #science friends here and start some new conversations about all things #ecology #agriculture #farming #academiclife #rstats and maybe some #sewing #knitting #mecfs #neisvoid thrown in for good measure
