I caught the train and bus to Broad Oak, Carmarthenshire from Haverfordwest, and then cycled to Cilsan Bridge to see Whooper Swans wintering there. It was lovely to ride a section of newly constructed cycle path through the Tywi Valley from Carmarthen to Llandeilo 😊 🚴

✨ Hidden for 25 years… now uncovered!
Our amazing 23 volunteers cleared 30m of scrubland to reveal a forgotten route + stile 🌿.
And they didn’t stop there—165kg of rubbish lifted from Jokers Field.
💚 Huge thanks Trailblazers—you’ve made history visible again and kept our paths clean.

Pentre Ifan Dolmen, Pembrokeshire is a collection of seven stones. The largest is the huge capstone, estimated to weigh 16 tonnes which rests on the tips of three other stones, some 2.5 m off the ground.

Caerleon amphitheatre. Built in AD90, it held up to 6000 spectators. It's an amazing feeling walking down the ancient steps. The third photo shows an alter, where a small statue of a god or goddess was placed, so the gladiators could worship before a fight! 🏟️
