Note Inexperienced walkers may find navigation difficult in poor visibility

Despite their proximity to low-lying villages and relative ease of accessibility, the Preseli Hills have a wonderful sense of remoteness and wilderness, qualities readily experienced on this fine walk.

Starting from the edge of the common near Mynachlog-ddu, the walk makes an easy ascent onto the ridgeway around the flanks of the unnamed hill on which lies Carn Siân. The route then wanders across the moors to the spectacular outcrops of Carn Menyn, from where stone is said to have been taken for the construction of Stonehenge. The return drops back to the village of Mynachlog-ddu.
