We visited The Church of St Martin by chance after spotting it on a drive to Hay on Wye via Llanthony. The church was begun in the 12th century, although most of the current structure dates from the 13th century. The church has an extreme tilt, the result of a landslide which gives it some character. Its built in a peaceful area and there's some nice walks in the area. A round-headed north window dates to the 12th century, and the nave roof has been dated to the late 13th or early 14th century. St Martin's is a grade 1 listed building and an active parish.

Velindre is an incredibly important place with the most caring and attentive of staff. My Dad had his treatment in Velindre when he was diagnosed with cancer. He always spoke highly of the staff at Velindre and praised them for doing such a great job. He used to look forward to his weekly visits there. After my Dad's passing I decided to do a few fundraisers as a thank you to Velindre and it was great to give a little something back to them for all of their hard work and dedication. Thank you, Velindre, and keep up the great work, guys!
