Hello there, the site is easy to access from Llandrillo. Take the road between the chapel and the Ganolfan at the Corwen end of the village. You can drive part way up this or, if you like, park in the village and walk up. About half a mile up the road you can park and the road becomes a track, there's a gate to go through. You then follow the track as it meanders up hill, through streams and through gates until a last gate gives you the option of going on, going left down a steep road or going right up another track. Go right. This track takes you uphill through open countryside. Again, unless you're used to hill walking it can take a bit of puff to get up. On your left as you go up the track is an open field which climbs to a rounded hill top. Atop this hill and a little to the left is the stone circle. I'd advise keeping on the track until you're round the back of the hill top because the going is less steep on that side as you make your way up to the stone circle. It's well worth the effort, the view from the top is very beautiful.

As for whether the circle is friendly or not, I can only tell you that I live beneath these stones and have been there many times over the years. As I climb the hill I have a sense of increasing excitment as though I'm going to meet somebody. When I arrive I always have a sense that they were there a moment ago. The sense is so strong that I often wonder if I've just missed other walkers, but there's seldom anyone about. The circle seems to hold the energy of all it's ever known and every foot that ever trod there. I know it holds my energy too each time I leave and that it knows me when I return, as I do it. There is a strong sense that it's waiting, but for what, I don't know. I wait too, each time I visit.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
