Bidding adieu to Bryn Gelli Du , we trekked back to the main road . Plas Newydd Burial Chamber is next on the list two kilometres east along the main road . We opt for a slightly longer detour through woodland to a lesser known cairn 'Bryn yr Hen Bobl' grid ref SH5188869 a stones throw from Plas Newydd .
Heading east through woodland beneath tall trees and an abundance of flora and fauna .
Wild garlic on both sides of the forest path .
Exited the woods , path led into a stunning coniferous avenue a few hundred metres in length .
Menai Strait in foreground .
I kept thinking this area was sacred to the ancients .No evidence ..
Do you believe in magic ?
Cairn is positioned between two hills measures 40m x 30m x 5m high
Unseen Burial Chamber is bottom centre left .
