These grand stones at the Yr Eifl car park are a memorial to the miners who quarried here in the 19th century. This area has a huge industrial history and it can be easy to get lost in the landscapes and forget the incredibly tough conditions these men worked in. The stones stand under the watchful gaze of Yr Eifl.

The three stones above Nant Gwytheryn (the Welsh language and heritage centre), perhaps representing the three peaks of Yr Eifl. From here a short detour to the centre can be made for a cake in the cafe.
