Cairn in Wrexham

At the northern end of the Berwyns is perhaps the best of cairns, at 784 meters high. The cairn is the largest of them all. It has a small walkers cairn upon it. A large stone lies to the south west by twenty yards and could once have stood upright. A good path leads the way. It wasn't immediately obvious how big the cairn was, first I stood atop it and thought is this it, then I stood back and saw its real size. A long walk but so worth it.
