Aran Fawddwy’s summit cairn is so large – c12 to 13ft according to our friends at Coflein – that it virtually seems part of the mountain itself..... here we look towards the (cairnless) sister peak of Aran Benllyn, its twin ‘humps’ perhaps suggesting no monument was deemed necessary as Nature already had it sussed? Arenig Fawr, crowned by another great cairn (doubling as a memorial to a B17 crew) can be seen top left, with Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) also visible. [Image October 1994]
