Llyn Mawr

Ring Cairn

postman Nov 18, 2009

About a hundred yards north of Carreg Hir standing stone is this large low ring cairn.
Brilliant views south into the valley, and west is the long crag of Craig y llyn mawr. On a beautiful morning its as nice as place as you could hope for, but in the rain and gloom its a proper depressing place, so much depends on the weather in Wales, say your prayers to the storm god and maybe you could beat my record of twelve rainbows in three and a half hours, honestly ive never seen so many rainbows.
