Bwlch ym Mhwll-le
Bwlch ym Mhwll-le submitted by postman : The large north western cairn zoomed at from across the gully. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairns in Gwynedd. In the north west of Snowdonia is Bethesda, to the north east of Bethesda is a long hill with three fine cairns upon it, Moel Faban, at the north east end of this hill is a strange long straight gully Bwlch ym Mhwll-le. Up the other side from Moel Faban are these two cairns. The northern one is a large spread of stones like the three upon the hill, but the southern one is a kerb cairn, with half a cist at its center.

Both cairns have magnificent views of high Snowdonia.
