markj99 visited on 20th Apr 2011 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 A narrow road winds up into the Welsh hills from Tal-y-bont (Conwy) on the B5106 signed for Llanbedr-y-cennin. Stay straight on this narrow lane for c. 4 miles to reach a Car Park at SH 7206 7153.
Bwlch y Ddeufaen standing stones are c. 0.5 miles from here along the Roman Road. Both stones are impressive however the distance between them and the dissimilarity of shape suggests to me that they are individual way markers rather than paired stones. There are several cairns nearby which lend weight to this theory.
