Only 3 days to go until me and the ever fabulous @druid venture 200 miles in a north-westerly direction to our holiday #hideaway on #YnysMôn for 2 whole & well deserved weeks.
So, expect #spectacular views of #glorious #landscapes, moody #seascapes & all sorts of #random stuff.
And one or two of us truly.😁
We shall be visiting #Cadw #castles, #NationalTrust #gardens, #plant #nurseries and hundreds of cafés and chip shops.
The odd #review may also appear...

Kidwelly Castle / Castell Cydweli

There's something about a ruined castle that demands a #Monochrome image.
Location: 28 km NW of Swansea. #What3words: ///hurry.relishes.yourself

I felt someone watching me, then I looked up at the walls.
Avoiding its more glamorous younger sibling a couple of miles away I went exploring a little castle lost in the trees on Anglesey’s south coast and discovered these little watchmen on the top of the tower

📰 Owain Glyndwr: Call for public takeover of #Sycharth site 🏴
Personally I love that it was a theatre company doing a site visit ahead of a musical about Owain that raised the alarm that the site was overgrown and neglected. Culture and heritage folks, man :blobcathearthug:

Whatcha reckon? Should #Cadw take on the site fully to look after it better? Apparently there are petitions and everything.

📢 Llys Rhosyr medieval court of #Welsh princes bought by #Cadw
One of the royal courts of the Princes of #Gwynedd has been bought by Wales' historic buildings organisation, Cadw. Fabulous news, #Wales! Definitely a scheduled monument worth looking after.
It's apparently the only court of this time period that has visible remains of the structures that once stood there, so that's pretty nifty.

As #TombTuesday is a thing here's Pentre Ifan burial chamber in West Wales on a sunny day, not too far from where we used to live in Ceredigion.
A few years ago now ...as an illustration of my mindset at the time this file was saved as "See how it frames the mountain how arty.jpg"
Oh dear... 🤷🙂
