There was a time, many moons ago, when the Preseli Hills teamed with Fairy-folk.

Now, when you climb the ancient stones, there is little, if anything, left to remind us of the tragedy that befell them one hot summers day.

The Preseli fairies were celebrating the Summer Solstice - some were sunbathing, others were flitting around, playing hide-and-seek. There was a fairy tea-party going on under one rock, whilst under another, the 'Wisps' versus 'Imps' Fairyball match was 10 minutes into the second half.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling in the Hills... The ground began to shudder as one of the magical Preseli Bluestones tumbled, crashing to the ground. With it came an avalanche of smaller stones. The fairies were too caught up in their summer games to realise what was happening...

...when they did, it was already too late.
