Hen Galan 2019 with Mai Llwyd and singers at Tafarn Sinc
Happy new year! No, not 2 weeks late, Welsh Old Calendar (Julian Calendar) new year is celebrated on 13 January in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. We went to a Hen Galan celebration at Tafarn Sinc the highest pub in Pembrokeshire in the Preseli Hills. The Mari Llwyd, grey mare horses head, dropped in. When she accompanies the singers she brings good luck to those she visits.

UK Trip with Mum - Ep 7 Preseli Mountains and Cenarth Falls
In this video mum and I visit Tafarn Sinc Pub in Rosebush - right in the heart of the Preseli Mountains. Then we go to Cenarth falls between Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan. Great setting to watch the River Teifi as it cascades over boulders. In Cenarth we go to a 16th century pub which was really cool.

Preseli Mountains Wales
Searching for the Ringing Blue Stones on the Preseli Mountains was a challenge. We found the stones but none had a ring to them. Our route was also part of the 8 mile Golden Road, from Bwich Gwynt. However, we started from the opposite direction, a lay-by Llainbanal near Crymych.
