CASTELL HENLLYS
Read moreFascinating reconstruction of an Iron Age fort. In each of the round, thatched houses, the interiors are reconstructed, based on the speculations of archaeologists. Very little information remains about the life of Iron Age man. In the houses, guides bake bread or spin wool, passionately recounting what we think we know about the period. Many discoveries about Iron Age techniques and knowledge were made during the construction of the site. Breathtaking!
PENTRE IFAN BURIAL CHAMBER
Read morePentre Ifan Burial Chamber, a circle of stones in a field overlooking the valley, three stones support a five-metre-long boulder thought to weigh almost sixteen tonnes. As its name suggests, this is an ancient burial chamber dating back to 3500 BC. One of the most beautiful phenomena of its kind. We still don't know how the men of the megalithic period managed to gather and lift all this! Awe-inspiring!
