Nice open clean area, ideal for a relaxing walk.
The landscape is beautiful and its remarkable how these stone got there!
Quiet, calm and ancient.
Enigmatic and mysterious thought provoking visit to an unique bronze age site. A must see and 'make your own mind up when you visit' place!!
Public car park adjacent to Trellech Methodist Church is opposite the access path to the site. Please note... take care whilst crossing the road to the location itself, it can be quite busy.
Ancient history at its best. Free to see no carpark but there is one in the village two minutes walk away. The field has some thistles and nettles so tread carefully.
Easy to find, nice little village.
The name of the village of Trellech comes from the stone row. The Welsh word 'tre' translates as 'three' and 'llech' as a stone, so Trellech means three stones, or 'place of the three stones' the stones; estimates range from the middle Neolithic period to the early Bronze Age, around 1500 Another interpretation is that the stones formed part of a much larger monument, perhaps a stone circle.
Legendary Origins
The row is known as Harold's Stones after a legend that the stones mark the graves of 3 chieftains who fell in battle against the Welsh while serving under a Roman leader named Harold. Another version of the story says that the stones commemorate a victory by King Harold of Wessex, the last of the Saxon kings, who defeated the native Britons in a fierce battle.
Or a giant named Jack o'Kent flung the 3 stones from Skirrid mountain. perhaps it wasn't another giant but the devil.
No one knows for certain
