"Cardiff is in the geographic county of Glamorgan. It is currently administered by Cardiff Council and lies within the South Glamorgan lieutenancy area, but neither replaces the geographic county. The present Cardiff council area also extends east across the River Rhymney into geographic Monmouthshire, so Rumney, Llanrumney, Trowbridge and St Mellons are administered as parts of Cardiff while remaining geographically in Monmouthshire"

One of my very favourite #folklore books. Published in 1780 by a #Monmouthshire minister and stuffed with a plethora of weird phantoms and #fairylore. Jones retells how his father saw the #fairies and repeats many first-hand encounters with the likes of Death Omens and Black Dogs. #FolkloreThursday

One night in the 18th Century a man was returning to his farm from Abergavenny, #Monmouthshire, when his horse shied, became panicked and bolted for home. Back at the farm, he saw what had spooked it: the gigantic phantom of a woman 'half as high as the tall beech trees' in his yard. #PhantomsFriday

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
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

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.
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.

A vibrant portrait of two elderly brothers in #Monmouthshire and the hyperlocal world they live in. #Wales #farming
It was blooming lovely to visit Caldicot Community Garden with my colleague Cllr Angela Sandles this week.
The garden is set at the entrance of the castle park. It's a lovely, welcoming environment and is always looking for volunteers. Why not pop down and fill an hour helping out?
#Caldicot #Monmouthshire #Gardening
I've been running around #Monmouthshire these past few days. I recommend it.
South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering:
Llanfihangel Rogiet standing stone, in Monmouthshire, now hemmed in between the M4 and a busy B-Road, is a 7 foot tall slab of holey limestone. (Portrait, needs a click)
In folklore, it was hurled across the Hafren/Severn from Portishead by the Devil in a fit of temper.
Visited July 2010.
