Cairn in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

Just below and to the south west of carnedd Dafydd , the fourth highest mountain in Wales is this fine cairn, magnificently placed , and with stupendous views. Slightly scooped out in the middle, by treasure seekers or weather weary walkers.
A long long walk, but easy to find.
