Garn Wen is a Bronze Age burial tomb located in the Carneddau mountains of Snowdonia, northwest Wales. The site consists of a circular mound of earth and stone, approximately 12 meters in diameter, surrounded by a ring of stones. At the center of the mound lies a large stone chamber, with a narrow entrance passage leading to it. The tomb dates back to around 2000 BC and is believed to have been built for a prominent chieftain or leader. The site offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and is a significant archaeological find, providing insight into the lives and burial practices of ancient Welsh communities.
Located behind a row of terraced houses, the ancient tombs are quite difficult to find - path is signposted but not that clearly and need to navigate some undergrowth! But that's all part of the fun! You feel like you've accomplished something when you find them. The location is very interesting - it's 'unspectacular' but feels very spiritual. Difficult to explain but you will know what I mean if you visit.
We found the path pretty wild and uncut when we were there, impossible to get around the rocks. Better option is to park all the way on the headland and walk down the coast a bit, or carry on down the path to catch the coastal path.
Nice example of a burial stone. Small single path too it, behind a row of houses. I'm blind but I managed to follow the path too it OK. Carpark isn't too far away to walk to it.
A wonderful place! So beautiful!
Beautiful coastal trail!
Nestled around the back of a row of terraced houses, these are a bit difficult to find. Brown signs on the nearby road take you to a car park suitable for about 20 cars. Walk to the far left end of the car park, then take the very narrow unpaved overgrown footpath for about 100 yards to get to the two stones. I couldn't find the 3rd stone which was last seen to the south west of the nearby playing field.
