Lost City of Trellech Archaeological Excavations — Attraction in Trellech United

Well this was a different day! Stuart is certainly passionate about his subject, knows archaeology and has joined many digs. And he loves his field /lost City of Trellech!

Stuart also gave us great recommendations for local castles both medieval and Roman which we explored the next day. Two days isn't long enough to explore this historical area but the Lost City of Trelleck was a great...

Got in touch with person in charge who ignored my emails until I used the word 'court' in the title after which they responded immediately. Was all made out to be my fault (despite promises of a refund) and I was advised there was no money to...
