Trellech, a dot on the map in Monmouthshire, South-east Wales, is not just a charming village with its ancient Church of St Nicholas, classified as a Grade I listed building. It is also an intriguing archaeological site, holding the secret of a forgotten past. Once a thriving town in the 13th century, it now stands as a testament to its medieval past. The tale of its medieval fortifications remains a mystery, but the three stone pillars, known as Harold's Stones, offer a peek into another era. Huddled on a plateau above the Wye Valley, on the southern edge of 320 acres (130 ha) of woodland, Trellech lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has been designated as a conservation area.
