The Castle Hunter

Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Llangelynin Chapel and Holy Well FREE SITE

You need a good map to find this chapel and even then you will think who've got lost

the drive up the hill via a very narrow winding lane seems endless

then you have to park a walk a fair bit up hill to get to it

However it's so worth it! Magical

No good if it's raining!
Dogs on lead ok but not in the chapel
No Toilets
Best Bit - The wall drawings
