    Only two.

    Stonehenge (Cairncalladryrdan in EB) and Anglesey (called Ynys Duwall in EB, a term I've never heard used for it before). I just stopped by stonehenge on the way through, but I've been to quite a few places in and around Anglesey, since it's closer to home and made a good destination for family holidays and college field trips.

    Ive been in almost all Europe, Scotland included, but (except the greco-roman thing) i wasn't very passionate of ancient things at the times... so for example i have been various time in England but never saw Stoneange while for example in France ive visited a lot of roman things, expecially in the zone of Arles, Nimes, Marseille (Massalia) etc... but all out of the EB time frame...

    in Italy ive seen (regarding EB) the temples of Paestum, and Agrigentum, i remember i went to Paestum with my motorbike, just hoping to meet a girl i knew at the University, i only knew she lived near Paestum a town called Eboli, so i went there just with the hope to meet here, but i never met her, but i enjoyed the temples a lot of times! And it was even more exciting cause i knew the gerl was living there around, so i started my romantic "meditation" looking at those temples... and a lot of fuel wasted my moneys...

    I thought the wonder in Wales was Puffin Island or Priestholm, that thin little island you can see just off the nothern bit of Anglesey as you drive towards Bangor on the coast road from England?

    No, it is Anglesey itself, because of its apparent importance to Druids.

    It is also chock full of beautiful prehistoric sites, but so is much of North Wales.

    Ah ok. Whats the significance of Puffin island then, was it a monastic retreat much later on? North wales is great for things like that, I remember wandering around stone circles and dolmens near a hill called Molfre in the northern end of the Carnedau (I think, it was a long time ago). When your'e over there it can feel like youv'e gone back to those times sometimes, its great.
