Nant-y-Llys
Nant-y-Llys submitted by Postman : Nant y Llys long cairn looking north east. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Long Cairn in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)

Nant y llys is a long cairn with perhaps the best view in Wales, the whole of the Snowdon horseshoe. The long cairn isn't very long anymore, it looks more round but kicking the grass about will reveal more cairn material. The view is at the least pleasing to the eye.
