Y Ro Wen Cairn
Y Ro Wen Cairn submitted by TAlanJones : First view of the cairn when approaching from the west. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Gwynedd. This is a summit cairn, quite common in Meirionnydd. Y Ro Wen forms part of the Moelwynion range of mountains. This is a bleak and marshy landscape but there are extensive views of Moel Penamnen, Manod Mawr north top, Y Gamallt and Moel Siabod and Dolwyddelan lies peacefully in the valley below.
