Bod Deiniol submitted by TimPrevett : Bod Deiniol SH368857 Visited Tuesday 15th June 1999 Access: We parked at nearby Llyn Alaw reservoir visitors' centre car park (some of the lanes to here are very narrow and bendy!). The stone I estimated about 10 to 11 feet tall, about 6 feet at its widest; covered in lichen. One side very smooth, and one side very rough. (Vote or comment on this photo)
