Y Garreg Fawr - Llanfachreth Arch 3.jpg

Llanfachreth, Gwynedd view map

Impressive stone arch and barn ruin near Llanfachreth, Gwynedd, North Wales

Known as the "Garreg Fawr" (large stone) it was erected by the Nannau family, the landed gentry of the parish. The stone lintel forming the head of the arch was transported from Harlech, about 25 miles away. Apparently it weighs about 18 tons!

40D :-) Nice one Keith. I have pictures of this place from Aug 2006, but cannot for the life of me remember exactly where it is, only that the EXIF says it was 20 minutes away from the Bwlch . Could you Geotag it please. Great shot BTW. V.
