    Neolithic dolmens are magical places, and this one in Pembrokeshire National Park is a stunner. It’s a gift to be able to stand amongst something as mysterious and ancient as this. Much has been, and continues to be written and spoken about regarding these structures that can be seen across our planet. The standard idea is a burial place, although several contemporary theories now exist. Believe what you will, or simply just keep an open mind, but visiting this dolmen is a rewarding experience. I came away with more questions than answers…but may be it’s supposed to be that way. The obvious one is the cap stone on top is 16 tonnes…what, how??? Thousands of years ago??? There’s no cost here, with the site being maintained by the Welsh Historic Monuments Agency. A small parking area in the form of a lay-by on the side of the nearby road makes access easy. If it’s a clear day the coast is visible to the west, if it’s not, a low mist or an overcast sky will add to the atmosphere. Local Celtic folklore speaks of fairies being seen, so go when the moon is full and let your imagination be free.

    Interesting site tucked away in the Welsh hills. Easily accessible from the layby with a surfaced footpath. About five minutes walk from the layby, well sign posted from the main road, free to enter and an information board at the site
