Susan: I know Madron and St Levan (and others) but have never come
across Euny or Alsia -- I'd love to visit them -- roughly where are
they?

Yes indeed. I was thinking specifically of Madron, Euny, Alsia and St
Levan. The trees surrounding the first three are always festooned with
bits of
rag; people certainly try to sleep at Alsia, but the owner (whom they
call the
steward) discourages it. St Levan, perhaps because unlike the others
it is
an exposed site on the cliffs, does not have this kind of attention.
My impression is that word of these places is spread by the internet.
No
knowledge of mediaeval or older tradition is needed by visitors, many of
whom
seem to lack it. A vaguely Arthurian/Druidic corpus seems to inform
their
attitude, leavened recently by angels.
