Travelling back home from the Mumbles , we wanted to see this place en route , as it was seared into our memory when we were in our early 20's. It is immaculately kept and a great tribute to all those children and adults who died that day .. There is a steep climb in the cemetery to get to the memorial graves, so take that into account when you visit . On a practical note , there is no signpost to the cemetery when you are heading from Merthyr Tydfil on the A4054 , so asked someone and parked near a church and walked over a footbridge to the village. There were signs from the other direction , we later discovered. This is why we are not certain about parking facilities that are closer.

This Neolithic burial chamber was built 6,000 years ago. It faces east, so that it faces the rising sun. It sits in The Accursed Field, and rumor has it that on Midsummer's Eve the capstone spins around three times before all the stones go to the river to wash. It sits in a field, but pedestrian access is allowed. There is a parking spot nearby. If you vist St Lythans, also visit the Tinkinswood burial chamber, which is very close. Both are between the airport and Cardiff, so can be visited on a small detour by car coming from or going to the airport.
