Gorsedd Gwlwm
Gorsedd Gwlwm submitted by Postman : The hardest place in Wales to get to, it's less than half a mile from the road, it's on top of a small rocky hill, but is virtually surrounded by gorse, I lost my way among it all and got severely scratched and bruised, sweating and bleeding from numerous places, it was the most unpleasant stone hunt ever. But the site itself is a good one. (Vote or comment on this photo)
