Hello Coral Jackz! A few weeks ago my now Fiancée and I had the pleasure of visiting pembrokeshire and your videos were the highlight of our entire trip! Visiting Hoyles mouth felt like a once in a lifetime experience along with King’s Quoit and a few other spots using the neolithic Wales website! I have loved keeping up with your videos and I will never forget our unbelievable trip thanks to you all! I wish you both the best of luck in your future adventures! And thank you again!

[@coraljackz]

Thank you so much.. You've made our day with this wonderful comment 😊

Looking for things to do near Tenby, I came across your video, which I really enjoyed. I am a caver and intend to visit Little Hoyle and Hoyle's Mouth caves with my grandchildren next week. Hopefully locating them won't be too difficult! A great channel with excellent content. Thanks.

[@coraljackz]

Thanks! The path was a bit overgrown but it's fairly noticable from the road 🙂

It's great you are doing some work on the Welsh prehistoric monuments! Well done, Martin.

[@coraljackz]

Thanks, more to come! We are planning on hitting the road in our campervan this spring/summer, and see how far we get 🤞😁

[@BeforeCaledonia]

@@coraljackz If you get up to Scotland sometime, let me know and we could maybe do a video together.

[@coraljackz]

That would be great..we are hoping to get up there this summer, so will keep in touch! :)

[@BeforeCaledonia]

@@coraljackz I have been to Pembrokeshire visiting the Dolmens, many of which are featured on your channel. I don't know if you are familiar with Robin Heath's work regarding the prehistoric sites in Pembrokeshire, his books are very good, Martin.

Excellent stuff. I've been scouring the limestone in South Wales for years now and have found and recorded a handful of caves that may have been used by ancient man. What might not be obvious or common knowledge is that sea levels were a lot lower back then, so many caves on the now sea front would have maybe overlooked forest back in the day. One interesting cave is located under the castle looking out to sea. Big roomy entrance and very hard to get to due to the tides. Theres a database online of the caves if anyone is interested.

[@coraljackz]

Ah, we love a bit of cave exploring! Would love to check out that database if you'd like to share the link :)

[@pknight7572]

It can be found by googlin Cambrian caving council, and then following the links.

[@coraljackz]

Thanks 😊

[@pknight7572]

Oh, and the fallen trees are the result of ash dye back. It's killing off most of the ash trees in the country. Caution needed when exploring woodland. And for visiting, morfa bychan and the Burial chambers on the cliff above the massive resurgence is worth a visit. The next beach eastward is pendine that has some good caves. I found a bear tooth in one of them that is now at Carmarthen museum.

[@coraljackz]

We've actually been meaning to make a video at Morfa Bychan for a while now. Hopefully get to it this summer!
