A site about the findings of a joint project run by Archaeoptics and Wessex Archaeology who scanned some of the Stonehenge sarcens with lasers to record the known rock art. In the process of the survey they found some new carvings.

Don't let the appalling acronym put you off. This is a really useful web site containing rural and countryside information from a number of Government agencies including English Heritage.
NB. The MAGIC map is designed for use with Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape Navigator 4.6 or higher and a screen resolution of 800x600 pixels or higher. This is not a site for modem users either.

Photos and a description of this site, as well as directions.

A good sized page about this "the largest known megalithic tomb on the island", including photos and directions.
|
Not the most desciptive page on this site, but it does include two photos and directions.
|
A page about this enigmatic little site, thought to be either the remains of a cairn or hut circle.
|
A page about the tomb explaining it's rather sad history, and recent change of location. Also directions and photos.
|
A page about the tomb, including a comprehensive set of directions and photos.
|
Another page from this fruitful and informative Web site, this time containing three photographs of Blakey Raise, directions and a short description. I have to admit, I had no idea it was restored before I read this page.
|
Another stonking good page by the well travelled and learned Tickners, containing photos of the Great Circle, the North East Circle and one of the avenues.
|
As the name of this page suggests, it contains a colourful version of the story behind the 'Weddings' name. It also has some photos, a description of the site and a diagram of the wood henge discovered by English Heritage in 1997.
|
A page about this excellent little site, along with good directions and photos.
|
At the top of this page is a description of how to get to Mynydd Rhiw, and some photos of the cairns on the top.
|
This page contains a section on Tan-y-Muriau (aka Rhiw Burial Chambers) including photos, a description and directions (which I could have done with when I tried to find the site in back in 2000).
|
Another good page from this site, this time containing four photos of Cerrig Arthur and some relatively accurate directions.
|
Another excellent page from this site. The page includes icons indicating accessibility to the site (now that's a good idea!).
|
This Tinkinswood Web page contains a goodly selection of thumbnails and some background information on the site.
|
A legend about the Welsh giant that created the Wrekin on his way to Shrewsbury (he took a wrong turn somewhere). A second legend about the origins of the hill is also linked to from this page.
|
The official Pembroke Castle Web site. Contains opening times and entrance fees. Not recommended for modem users, unless you're especially patient.

I live in a small Welsh seaside town on the west coast. As well as being well placed for visiting the local sites, it's relatively easy to get to sites in south Wales, north Wales and the borders.
If you'd like to use one of the photos I've posted on this site please contact the TMA Eds who'll pass the message on ([email protected]).
