An ancient watcher over Garn Fawr hillfort on Strumble Head, north Pembrokeshire today..
A striking rock profile as one descends from the hillfort - interesting how common these are at some of our ancient outcrop monuments

A solid cooking rule to follow is to remember that when recipes say "add two cloves of garlic" is is always a misprint and what they actually mean is six.

This is one of the best preserved ringforts in Ulster. It likely dates to some time between the 6th—12th century.

#HillfortsWednesday #Celtic: Excavations at Tre'r Ceiri have produced finds mainly of Roman pottery, showing that they traded with the Romans. During the final period of occupation the fort may have been used as a refuge, not from the Romans but from Irish raiders.

These reheated announcements mean nothing to many communities I represent.
We’ve had promises for our part of Wales before but no delivery.
We are still owed billions in rail funding. We have no control over where funding is spent. Until this changes, nothing changes for the people of my region.

These stations were already announced in last year’s Spending Review, with funding spread over a decade.
