Taken 26th June 2003: The Castell Coch stone (to the left) with some sort of tyre damage running alarmingly close to it. Why anyone would try driving through this boggy area I have no idea, but something big had churned things up.
I took this photo standing on top of the spare wheel of our 4x4 (parked on the road).
Taken 25th September 2002: Castell Coch from the north, with the Landranger is included for scale.
Visited 25th September 2002: The Buwch a’r Llo and Mynydd March stones are very easy to find, but I’ve only just found their neighbour, a small stone called Castell Coch.
Castell Coch means red castle in Welsh, and it seems to be named after the nearby farm (I have no idea how the farm came to get it’s name). Coming from the direction of Penrhyn Coch it’s beyond the cattle grid on the right-hand side of the road, hidden in amongst the reeds. Although it’s near the road, I only spotted it by chance. I’ll not spoil your fun by giving you the grid reference!
