The cairn surmounts the high ground (just out of shot behind the trees, far top left) guarded by the cliff line of Llechwedd Melyn (Yellow Hillside); I’ve included this shot because not only does it highlight a potential ascent/descent route (cutting diagonally across the cliff face) .... but also the prime focus (sorry cairn) of any walk here... the fabulous Pistyll y Llyn, for my money the finest cascade in Mid Wales (with the possible exception of that gracing Y Maesglasau north of the Dyfi) and far superior to the feted – but nonetheless excellent – example at not too distant Devil’s Bridge.
