Blaenglyn round cairn sits on a fairly steep slope, above a miniature Cwm, at the bottom of a valley. Although it's only a short walk (150meters) from the busy A470, the road noise is drowned out by the nearby river, with it's numerous waterfalls.
It's in a delightful spot, and unlike most of the local cairns it is low down, surrounded by high hills to the East and West, with good views along the valley to the North and South. The cairn itself is mostly intact and grassed over, with minimal signs of disturbance to it's top.
