    We are off to Wales tomorrow from southern,England, and, because of you video, we will be going to see Herbert’s Quarry on our way up to Dolgamedd in Snowdonia

      Looks like you are going to have a great week for weather - sunny and dry (Although Snowdonia can do anything at anytime)

      @@flydriveexplore Hi, I’ve just seen your reply. Yes we had great weather, a bit chilly in the evening camping but beautiful clear views on our journey. On the way up we stopped at Herbert’s Quarry for a short time and we’re going to explore a bit more on the way home. However, as you said, the weather can change, and it did! You couldn’t see anything when we went there again on the way home. 5mph driving through the clouds…Definitely worth a longer visit next time.

    I was in the car park Sunday morning at sunrise, and it was probably one of the most incredible sights I've ever seen.

      It must be especially at dawn over the mountains on a clear day.

    Great Video as always . Brilliant 👍👍
    Fascinating History of this area which I had no idea of and we drove past the site on the way to Llangadog without even realising it existed. I think we were distracted by the stunning scenery. 😃
    Thanks for posting 👍👍👍😃

    Very interesting as always.Lime is used a lot in farming and steel making.The name Herbert crops up quite a bit in Welsh history.Digestive biscuits,what no fish and chips.

    Love your videos especially this one I don’t live very for from the black mountain and we go up there very often especially on nice days for the views. Not far from those quarries are some Bronze Age grave mounds maybe you could do a video on the,

    • @flydriveexplore

      Thanks for watching. I did see the burial mounds marked on the map I had but just didn't have time on this visit. Will definitely be going back.

    Lovely video. This is an area I wanted to explore when I went to Wales. I don't know if or when I'll ever get there, but it is so nice to see this part of it.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 роки тому

      The Brecon Beacons are really interesting form villages and market towns to rugged moors and mountains. Well worth a trip and it's only a short drive from the coast.

    What a fascinating yet forlorn place. I will certainly be making a visit to this wonderful area - I am amazed at just how deliciously devoid of people it is - which suits me down to the ground. As far as I am concerned, Hell is other people.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 роки тому +2

      It was quiet but it was a weekday. Not sure how busy it gets at the weekend but if you go early it should be quiet and there's plenty of countryside to get away from anybody.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 роки тому +2

      It may have been but it would have been a very long time ago. During the bronze age and into the iron age much of the area was cleared for grazing.
