Bluestone Pillar, Preseli Hills

One of two brought down from the hills by Chinnook Helicopter in 1989. The other was placed at Stonehenge as it is thought some of the stones at Stonehenge originated from the Preseli Hills.

Bethel Chapel, Mynachlog-ddu

This is the only church in the village and there is no Anglican church locally. The building has been rebuilt twice since the original one from 1794, with a subsequent refurbishment in 1940.

The baptistry of Bethel Chapel

In common with many churches in the area, this has an outdoor baptistry, located in a wooded glade in the village.

Former garage in Mynachlog-ddu

My guidebook said the village also had a post office, but that has closed too.

Preseli Bluestones

Stonehenge was built with bluestones from the Preseli hills of Pembrokeshire and there is still debate as to whether they were quarried in the west of Wales or were glacial erratics deposited by the last ice age much closer to Stonehenge. This is not quite as old as it might seem as it's the memorial to the Welsh language poet Waldo Williams and the stones were carried here by helicopter!

Memorial inscription to Waldo Williams

These two lines are from Williams’ poem ‘Preseli’. ‘Google Translate’ yields the following strands: ‘Wall of my childhood, bare Drigarn, hoof saddle, tall mountain, …………… all independence of thought’. (Drigarn is the name of a nearby hill).
