Two natural monoliths at the summit of Tryfan (3,010 ft above sea level) known locally as Sion a Siân (aka Adam and Eve). The rocks are approx. 3m high and 1.2m apart. People who make the jump from one rock to another are said to gain the Freedom of Tryfan. In Arthurian legend Tryfan is said to be the final resting place of Sir Bedivere (Bedwyr)
From the valley to the NE the two stones resemble two human figures.
Note: A fantastic series of photos by HarryTwenty capturing the summer solstice sunrise 2023
