Pen Llithrig Y Wrach submitted by Postman : Looking over the cairn south (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)
Pen llithrig Y Wrach is 799 metres high, and has a cairn on its rocky summit. It's not in very good condition, it has to be said but it's still there and recognisable after four thousand years.

It's a long way up and the cairn can't be seen from below so only a climb will do. It was so hot when the kids and I went up we took our boots off and made ourselves at home, for this is more like home to me than anywhere else.
