    This impressive hillfort stands proudly at the end of the Preseli Hills. Dating from the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, the hill is topped with three cairns that can be seen for miles around. Aerial photographs show numerous hut circles here, which you can explore upon reaching the summit. Furthermore, you can enjoy magnificent panoramic views here.

      An eastern hill and Trig Point in the Preseli range. It is a superb little hill to do as part of a long day or on its own. Foel Drygarn is also an Iron Age hillfort, within which are three Bronze Age burial cairns. The site is about 1.5 miles west of the village of Crymych in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is a scheduled monument. Great views from the top of it.
