This blog is created for the followers of Brian John's Angel Mountain Saga of eight novels, dealing with the life and times of a very imperfect heroine, Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli. She lived at about the same time as Jane Austen but struggled to survive in a very different world. Total sales for the series are now over 110,000, making this the best-selling fiction series ever published in Wales.

Carningli Lodge and Plas Ingli
As everybody knows, the inspiration for Plas Ingli came from the ruin on the edge of the common that goes by the name of Carningli Lodge. It's probably a "ty unnos" cottage, built before 1830, occupied until the First World War, and then abandoned.
I've annotated this Bing Maps image which shows features in great detail -- partly because it is a winter image. There are two ruined collages here, together with a cluster of strange little enclosures, and an old field pattern.
Although this area is on private land, it's classified as "access land" -- so walkers are free to walk over it and do their own exploring, so long as they do no damage.
