Ty-Gwyn submitted by paulcall : Taken early morning on 4 July 2006, giving some idea of the fantastic location of this standing stone (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hilltop standing stone, 2 metres tall, with great views of the North Wales Mountains and the Menai Straits.

This stone can be seen from the road, but it is narrow with blind bends and high hedges, it is used by HGVs and Buses, Parking is difficult.
