This is a view across the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales towards the coast taken from Foel Drygarn iron age hill fort. There are large, jagged rocks covered in lichen in the foreground, and the setting sun looks like it is perched on the top of a rock in the centre of the photo. Rolling hills can be seen in the distance. The sky is blue and almost cloudless.

Storm Bert hasn't brought any snow to our patch of #Pembrokeshire (so far at least!)...but this is how our beautiful backyard (aka the Preseli Hills) looked at twilight in January this year.

We've had stunning #sunsets every night so far in April - and here was yesterday's at our local Iron Age hill fort in our beautiful backyard, the Preseli Hills 🧡

#stormhour #thephotohour #foeldrygarn #hillfort #ironage #preselihills #preselis #pembrokeshire #photography #hiking #landscape #scape

This is a photo of sundown at Foel Drygarn Iron Age hillfort in the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 9 April 2025. A perfectly round sun is setting in a blaze of orange sky just above rolling hills which have turned pastel shades of pale blue and green in the fading light, and there is a rocky crag in the foreground.

Today is the 89th anniversary of the first UK #trig point...and this is (probably!) my favourite of the 66 that are in #Pembrokeshire just before #sunset earlier this month 🧡

#scape #eastcoastkin #stormhour #thephotohour #trigpoints #trigpoint #trigbagging #photography #foeldrygarn #preselihills

This is a photo of the trig point at Foel Drygarn in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and the breathtaking view over the rolling Preseli Hills towards the coast. It was taken just before sunset on 9 April 2025. The sun is setting directly above the trig point, casting a glow on the metal plate at the top. The sky is varying shades of peach and orange, turning to pale blue close to the horizon. There are lots of rocks surrounding the trig point in the foreground.

Our #frozen natural swimming pond for today's #marchintolandscapes theme. The water comes off the #PreseliHills so is seriously cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶. Would you swim in it? We're amazed at how many of our guests do!

This is a photo of a frozen natural swimming pond in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A large pink cloud, and blue sky, are reflected in the clear water.

I came across this very handsome #horse roaming wild on the stunning #PreseliHills in #Pembrokeshire earlier this week...and he was happy to pose for a photoshoot 😊

This is an image of a large brown and white horse roaming wild on the Preseli Hills, near Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales which was taken in March 2025. The horse, with feathered hooves and a flowing mane, is looking towards the camera against a background of rolling hills in pale green and brown tones.

When the setting sun looks like a #burntorange button on top of a trig point for today's #Stunday and #AColoradAyPRIL.

This is a photo of the trig point at Foel Drygarn in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and the fabulous view over the rolling Preseli Hills towards the coast. It was taken just before sunset on 9 April 2025. The setting sun looks like it is sitting on the trig point - just like a bright orange button. The sky is varying shades of peach and orange, turning to pale blue close to the horizon. There are lots of rocks surrounding the trig point in the foreground.

#Stonehenge's #bluestones - how did they get there and there did they come from? New research, new excavations (of monolith quarries in the #PreseliHills in Pembrokeshire) - more answers. (Spoiler: It wasn't...

Finally got the chance to visit Pentre Ifan for the first time today. How did they manage to lift a 16 tonne capstone 8 foot off the ground and balance it on three stones over 5000 years ago? #PentreIfan #Pembrokeshire #Nevern #History #Wales #PreseliHills #Cadw
