  2. Harold's Stones near the village of Trellech (tr. 'Three Stones'), #Monmouthshire. Three Bronze Age pillar stones distinctive because of the lumpy conglomerate their made of. Their name is a mystery. There is a #legend that local hero Jack O' Kent lobbed them here. #StandingStoneSunday #folklore

  3. St Anne's Well, also known as the Virtuous Well, at Trellech in #Monmouthshire. A medieval healing well and a genuine wishing well: people would drop pebbles into the water and if bubbles appeared, the wish would be granted. Note the ribbons or 'clouties' tied to the trees above the well. #folklore

  4. Monmouthshire's only stone circle for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    Gray Hill circle is probably the remains of a cairn circle or kerbed cairn. There are two tall standing stone outliers heading uphill. The site has great views down to the Hafren/Severn.

    This visit June 2012.

  5. Some Monmouthshire chambered tomb action for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    Gaer Llwyd ('Grey Fort') Neolithic chambered tomb near Usk. In folklore the tomb was the result of a game of megalithic quoits between Twm Sion Catti and the Devil.

    Visited June 2012, when there was a donkey living in the field.

  7. Made the most of the fine weather in Abergavenny after a Ramblers Cymru meeting and went exploring. The town is almost entirely surrounded by mountains and hills; Blorenge Sugar Loaf & Skirrid Fawr among them. #BannauBrycheiniog #Ramblers #SaturdayFun #Monmouthshire #Abergavenny #Cymru #Wales #SirFynwy #Blorenge #SugarLoaf #SkiridFawr #BannauBrycheiniogNationalPark
