Carn Enoch is a prominent hill located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is situated near the village of Rosebush and stands at an elevation of 380 meters (1,247 feet) above sea level. The hill is known for its rugged and rocky terrain, making it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to challenge themselves with a steep ascent.

Carn Enoch offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Preseli Hills and the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline. On a clear day, visitors can see as far as the Irish Sea and even catch a glimpse of the distant mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales.

The hill is also significant from a historical standpoint, as it is believed to have been the site of ancient settlements dating back to the Iron Age. Archaeological remains have been discovered on Carn Enoch, including hut circles and ancient burial sites, providing insight into the area's rich history.

Overall, Carn Enoch is a must-visit destination for those seeking a challenging hike, breathtaking views, and a glimpse into Wales' ancient past.

Pig sty, Pen-y-wennol The pig sty at the site of the now-ruined farm of Pen-y-wennol was restored to immaculate condition in 2011, when this photo was taken. It has since become very overgrown. It can be viewed from a footpath running along the hillside. Pen-y-wennol: top of the shuttle, probably a reference to the steep winding road from the village to access the place - although 'gwennol' is also the word for swallow (the bird).

Foot path direction signs New signage added to old. The figures look very masculine, striding out with an apprearance of urgency rather than pleasure.

Pencnwc Traditional-style old farm that looks considerably less agricultural now than when I last photographed it for Geograph in 2006. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/211234" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/211234">Link</a> Pencnwc was the home of William Batine James who emigrated to the North America in 1871 and subsequently enlisted in the US Cavalry under General Custer. He disappeared, presumed killed, in the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. See the novel: If God Will Spare My Life by Mike Lewis, 2021.

Modern graffito on Garn Fawr outcrop This engraved symbol appeared on one of the large boulders at Garn Fawr on Mynydd Dinas in 2022. It would appear to be a Christian symbol but the words(?) below are illegible, or have been obliterated. No explanation has been found and the perpetrator is unknown.
