A wonderful place to have a quick hike. If you're local it's easy to get to, and quiet enough not to feel bothered by masses of people. Just on the edge of Snowdonia national park.

Tal y Fan summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 610m Tal y Fan is the northern most outlier of the Carneddau mountains. The trig point on top gives wonderful views into Snowdonia National Park or north and out to sea. It's a great little mountain, off the beaten track and with a wild feeling.

Llyn y Wrach Stone Circle

Highlight • Historical Site

It is a large ring of stones, approximately 12 meters in diameter, with walls about 1.5 meters wide. It features large flat upright stones (orthostats) and an entrance at the south-west. The stones on the east side may be partially buried due to soil slippage. It has a "double skin" of large stones laid on edge, with cairn material filling the space between the inner and outer rings.
Location: It is located in Conwy, Wales, specifically near a body of water also called Llyn y Wrach, which translates to "the Lake of the Witch." It's a short walk from the Hafodty stone circle.
