A walk along the windy escarpment from Pen Allt-mawr cairns, the first cairn (SO203233) is very badly ruined, perched right on the lip over a steep drop. The SW cairn (SO202232) is massive. Although ruined, it is still a very impressive monument, commanding views across to Pen y Fan and the central Beacons. This wild and windy place ... how important must those buried here have been, surveying their world from on high? thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat
