The legendary Cadair Idris (Idris’ Chair) – formed by the triumvirate summit peaks of the mountain – rear overwhelmingly above the Bronze Age cairns upon Carnedd Lwyd. It’s not hard to see how such places become the epicentre of legend. There is a further prehistoric cairn upon Mynydd Moel beyond Cyfrwy. Pen-y-Gadair peeks through cloud top right.
