St Michael and All Angels, Cascob

In a huge, unkempt and magical churchyard, the mound on which the squat tower stands is intriguing. The place has that indefinable quality that many ancient Welsh churches possess.

An Ancient Yew Tree

Sitting within the bounds of the Churchyard in the Tiny hamlet of Cascob is a fine specimen of a Yew tree that must surely sit around 1000 year old. A pleasure to see.
