Coed y Bedo
Coed y Bedo submitted by PaulBadger : Full moon visit, without using a torch I found that although the standing stone itself is invisible due to the thin side facing the path, the fallen outlier reflects the moonlight well, and then the standing stone is visible when you get on the moonlit side of it (Vote or comment on this photo)

Parking in wide road outside of property bearing same name as the stone. A few minute walk along footpath to the east, and a short break off to the north. This stone, some 5'7" tall, is an easy rewarding visit.
