Dist:0.4km<br/>The small stone circle in the foreground is associated with The National Eisteddfod, an annual welsh cultural festival that takes place in different Welsh towns. Llanelli hosted the Eisteddfod in 1895, 1903, 1930, 1962 and 2000. A new gorsedd circle [[278259]] was built for the 2000 Eisteddfod - the one pictured here has been used for several previous Eisteddfods. This picture recreates a picture taken for the Frith collection, taken around 1955. http://www.francisfrith.com/search/wales/dyfed/llanelli/photos/llanelli_L73066.htm

Dist:0.7km<br/>A Year 5 class from Penygaer Primary School on a science fieldtrip (studying a freshwater ecosystem) to Furnace Pond. The pond, once a reservoir for the town of Llanelli is now a favourite venue for walkers and fishermen (and budding scientists!), and is a haven for wildlife.
