Pentre Ifan, Mynydd Preseli, Wales

The Preselis are by no means the highest or grandest of Welsh mountian ranges but they have an alluring beauty in the bright Pembrokeshire sun (twice a year) and in moody stormy weather (every other time).
We were lucky to be there in the bright sun!


A big history as well. For boats travelling from Ireland to Wales in the iron age the Preselis were a navigation aid and the outcrops of rock (the bluestones) were thought to have healing qualities. THey were the natural quarry for the builders Stonehenge to where these "healing" stones were carried two hundred miles away

They were also use locally and the Dolmen in Pentre Ifan is the best preserved neolithic burial chamber in Wales (and one of the most beautiful anywhere
