Nant y Mawr

Cairn(s)

postman Aug 30, 2011

Not a big cairn, and its covered in pretty pink heather, so its hard to see, but its in a fairly dramatic site with good views to the west and north.
And not too far from the road, it’s not really one to rush out to see, but if your going to try and find all the cairns on the Esclusham mountains youll have to come here.
