Cribyn

Cairn(s)

Cribyn (Cairn(s)) by GLADMAN The wonderfully stratified eastern face of Cribyn from near the summit of Fan y Big. The peak possesses a badly eroded summit cairn. Pen y Fan and Corn Du rise above completing the highest Bronze Age cemetery in South Wales. The pass Bwlch ar y Fan (centre left) allows access of a track - known prosaically as the 'Gap Road' - linking Brecon and Pontsticill. Used by the Romans, what odds the route was used by prehistoric travellers, too? With their VIPs keeping watch from 'the other side', so to speak.
