Looking north-east across Llyn Mwyngil, Tal-y-Llyn, toward Bwlch Llyn Bach upon the far horizon. The wondrous crags of Cadair Idris rear up to the left, the prominent 'gash' home to the Nant Cadair where - I understand - the hoard was discovered in 1963 (the locality is readilly accessible via The Minffordd Path to Cwm Cau, to my mind the finest of all ascents of Cadair Idris). The Tarren foothills rise to the right of the lake. The third of Wales' great trio of Iron Age hoards now resides in The National Museum of Wales... but for me the knowledge of origin adds a certain 'something' to the aura of a visit here.
