A lovely afternoon stroll up to Cerrig Arthur stone circle, after yesterday's Aran ridge epic.
The circle is in the foothills of Y Rhinogydd, and has great views of Diffwys and Y Garn, the southernmost peaks in the range. It also looks south across the beautiful Mawddach estuary towards the soaring buttresses of Cader Idris. It stands beside an important route up to one of the bwlchs (passes) over the Rhinogydd ridge into Ardudwy.

Not a day for the high hills, all low cloud and strong winds. Instead a walk over a prehistoric #palimpsest landscape on the hills of #Ardudwy; sites from the #Neolithic, #BronzeAge and #IronAge all close together:
Pen y Dinas #Hillfort, Carnedd Hengwm Neolithic chambered long cairns and Bronze Age cairn circle.
