Llech-y-Doll
Llech-y-Doll submitted by postman : Looking out across over Porth Ceiriad (Vote or comment on this photo)
Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Gwynedd

Parking is obtained at Cilan Uchaf farm, a charge applies, 2 pounds.
Heading south-east from the farm through a gate with a sign encouraging fishermen to come this way, after closing the gate behind you go into the right hand far corner of the field passing an unused caravan. There is another gate to be open and closed and across the field is another gate, head for that and then you're in the burial chambers field it's in the far left corner. So that's three gates, no more than a ten minutes walk.

Having said all that, that's not the way we went, we went too far south and ended up walking round in circles, until a moment of inspiration struck and out it popped from behind a hedge.
Llech-y-Doll sits lazily on the edge of the land looking out across Porth Ceiriad, and so did we for a while. The stone is over four feet tall, five feet wide, and maybe twelve feet long, supported slightly on plenty of smaller stones.
This is a good site that deserves more attention than it gets, I cant believe its not on here already.
