Crug Bach

Standing stones and earthworks scattered across a windswept hillside make up this lesser-known archaeological site just outside Llandysul. The remains here date back thousands of years, though exactly what you're looking at takes a bit of imagination - think grassy mounds and the odd upright stone rather than anything dramatic.

Walkers and history enthusiasts will appreciate the peaceful setting more than casual visitors. There's no interpretation board or clear path, so you'll need to do your homework beforehand if you want to understand what you're seeing. The views across the Ceredigion countryside are lovely enough, but the site itself won't hold most people's attention for more than twenty minutes.

Access appears to be free - it's essentially open farmland - though parking might be tricky along the narrow lanes. Best combined with a longer walk in the area rather than making a special trip. Families staying at nearby spots like Greenfields Holiday Park or Brynawelon Touring & Camping Park could include it as part of a countryside ramble, but don't expect the kids to be fascinated unless they're already keen on ancient history. Weather can be properly fierce up here, so wrap up well.
