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.

Bryn Cader Faner, above Talsarnau, North Wales, a Bronze Age cairn with the most amazing kerb of upright stones.

Extensive views from Craig y Castell, a prominent #Marilyn hill between #CadairIdris and the #Mawddach.

Looking north towards #YRhinogydd, NE to #Arenig, east to #YArannau, and the southern view is blocked by the massive cliffs of Cadair Idris itself. Some fine #BronzeAge cairns on the saddle below.

Is #HillfortsWednesday as thing here?

Here's Foel Faner, a stone-ramparted #hillfort above #Dolgellau in North Wales. Terrific views of the mountains (#YRhinogydd, #CadairIdris, #Dyfi Hills, #Arannau) from a commanding position. The rampart is well-preserved.

The wondrous Bryn Cader Faner #BronzeAge ring-cairn for #TombTuesday. High in the uplands of western #Snowdonia, in the foothills of #YRhinogydd, this is one of the jewels of prehistoric Britain.
