Nice video, full of useful info. So thanks for that! But just one thing -- re the reference to the bluestones being carried to Stonehenge by out ancestors. That's just a myth, and like most myths it is probably not true. The bluestones were almost certainly carried by ice.
Thanks for the kind words and clarification... I've pinned your comment to inform future viewers. To be honest, we were quite surprised to hear that we had made a reference to the Stonehenge bluestones in this video and had to have a re-watch. Brief Analysis When I said; 'A thousand years before the local bluestones were moved to Wiltshire during the earliest phases of Stonehenge', I intended to leave it vaguely open by not specifically saying how or where they were moved from. My thinking being that it could be interpreted as 'moved to Wiltshire from where the ice dropped them'. However, the way it is phrased lacks any reference to an ice age... and the word 'local', shortly before 'moved', gives a strong impression the stones were moved from Pembrokeshire to Wiltshire at that time. Apologies, I will be more careful in future!
Thanks for the fascinating compilation. We loved walking the Pembs Coast Path. We've nearly finished the Wales Coast Path now. I live near Maen y Bardd cromlech in the Conwy Valley, one of the best burial chambers in north Wales.
You are very welcome We're planning on walking/camping some coast path when it warms up a bit more, but there's definitely somethingto be said for avoiding the heat 😅 Maen Y Bardd looks surprisingly like our favourite in Carmarthenshire, Gwal Y Filiast, we will certainly visit it when we're up that way 😁
@@coraljackz I can see the similarities. Maen y Bardd is on a bare mountainside, with great views of the Afon Conwy. Plenty of standing stones and an iron age cist nearby.
