Ffynnon Drieg revealed
Recent clearance of the gulley here has brought to light Ffynnon Drieg, the Treacle Well beside Nant-y-Blodau. The 'well', a shallow reservoir under the bank with a low containing wall beside the stream, was brought to my attention in the 1970 booklet 'Looking Around Newport Pembs'by Islwyn Jenkins, headmaster of the primary school at the time. He set his pupils the task of marking and mapping old footpaths and landmarks around the town and arranged for some of them to clear out this well. He explains that its name refers to the original meaning of treacle as a medicinal balm or healing unguent, the etymology being from the Greek and Latin words for antidote (to the bite of venomous animals.) The only other extant 'treacle well' appears to be the one featured by Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland at Binsey near Oxford http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3529229
My previous attempts to locate the well failed because it was concealed by vegetation - this may well happen again so it is satisfying to find it still exists.

Castell Drefdraeth/Newport castle in summertime
The view up from the crossroads at the top of Market Street shows how the castle dominates the small town below. Its melding of mediaeval and Victorian architecture gives it a curious and romantic appearance. Although it dates back originally to C13 there was considerable destruction and rebuilding over the centuries until Thomas Lloyd of Bronwydd grafted a dwelling house on to the ruins.
The castle remains in private hands and is not open to the public.
