Fan Llia summit cairn
Fan Llia summit cairn submitted by cerrig : Looking west. Towards Fan Nedd and the Black Mountain beyond. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This cairn sits on the southern end of the crest of Fan Llia.It is largely ruined now,but it has been partly rebuilt probably by walkers. It has extensive views of the Brecon Beacons from the West through the North to the East,and the Heads of the Valleys to the South.

It is on a National long distance pathway,the Beacons Way, so it is readily accessible,but a bit of a walk to get to the top. There is a good car park in the valley below at Blaen Llia that connects with the footpath.

This is a fine weather site as it is over 600 meters high.
