Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber is a Neolithic tomb located in the north of Wales, dating back to around 3500-3000 BC. The site consists of a circular mound surrounded by a ring of stones, with a narrow entrance passage leading to a central chamber. The chamber is constructed from large stone slabs, with a corbelled roof and a distinctive crescent-shaped facade. The tomb is believed to have been used for collective burial, with the remains of multiple individuals found within. Despite being partially destroyed in the 19th century, the site remains an important example of Neolithic funerary architecture in the UK.
Awesome place, great outlook in good weather. Take care driving through narrow lanes. Limited roadside parking (about 5 cars or so).
Absolutely magical place. Parking is just a large layby and no other facilities, though there is a community centre not too far away (roughly a 5 minutes drive). Some routes to Pentre Ifan are single track and extremely steep - not for the faint-hearted driver! Be sure to visit the nearby woodland walk, which was absolutely beautiful, though you need sturdy footwear as the bridleway track is rocky and uneven underfoot. Though never steep, it would only be suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness.
Free little piece of history for a 15 minute stop, admire the history & mystique, take a few shots and move on. Not worth a big drive unless this is a topic you are passionate about. Small layby is only parking (~4 cars). A short walk of 100 yards but no other facilities. A fairly narrow lane gets you to here. Worth pairing with the IRon village which is not far away at all. Sunny day get some lovey views.
Beautiful pagan burial site. People have left offerings, and so did I. The massive stone is impressively balanced on smaller stones. Pentre Ifan's serene and mystical atmosphere is truly captivating. The road here was a bit small for a campervan or bigger car, but the road was luckily not too busy.
Very impressive formation in a stunning place, worth a visit. Not too far from the road along a gravel type path and then grass.
Quite an interesting and thought provoking read of the info board. This place has been on my todo list for years and while staying at the fantastic Morawelon campsite it would've been rude not to visit. Parking for a few cars and easy access .
