Sycharth is a motte and bailey castle in Llansilin, Powys, which in the late 14th and early 15th century was the home of Owain Glyndwr.
The site was described by Glyndwr's poet, Iolo Goch, as containing "nine plated buildings on the scale of eighteen mansions, fair wooden buildings on top of a green hill", and a "tiled roof on every house with frowning forehead, and a chimney from which the smoke would grow; nine symmetrical, identical halls, and nine wardrobes by each one."

In retribution for Glyndwr's rebellion, Prince Hal (later King Henry V) burned down the castle in May 1403.
"Boscawen-Ûn (grid reference SW412273) is a Bronze Age stone circle close to St Buryan in Cornwall, UK. It consists of nineteen upright stones in an ellipse with another, leaning, middle stone just south of the centre. There is a west-facing gap in the circle, which may have formed an entrance. The elliptical circle has diameters 24.9 and 21.9 metres (82 and 72 ft). It is located at grid reference SW412274.
"The Gorseth Kernow was inaugurated here in 1928. An old Welsh triad mentions one of the three principal gorseddau of the Island of Britain as 'Beisgawen yn Nyfnwal' (Boscawen in Dumnonia), which was taken to refer to Boscawen-Ûn by the Gorseth's founders. That Welsh triad dates to only the 18th century when it was made up by Iolo Morganwg, Edward Williams.

Watched Luna today at The Citadel with my husband and our 3 year old daughter Izzy. We all thoroughly enjoyed the production. Izzy is requesting to see it again and has drawn the pictures below, of Billy, Super Pig and Luna. Fantastic show.
