Image of Carnedd Llewelyn (Cairn(s)) by GLADMAN

Curiously, the only 3,000ft summit in view without a burial cairn, Yr Elen, is (to my mind) by far the most elegant, the most shapely, particularly so when viewed between Foel Grach and Carnedd Llewleyn. Perhaps this was no mere coincidence and Yr Elen was the venerated natural feature of the locality, Y Carneddau’s Tryfan? The viewpoint is near Bera Bach.
