Cemeteries and memorials to visit Wales

Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber, a circle of stones in a field overlooking the valley, three stones support a five-metre-long boulder thought to weigh almost sixteen tonnes. As its name suggests, this is an ancient burial chamber dating back to 3500 BC. One of the most beautiful phenomena of its kind. We still don't know how the men of the megalithic period managed to gather and lift all this! Awe-inspiring!

It was the first piece of land to become the property of the National Trust in 1895, and the people of Barmouth are very proud of it. From the top, you can admire Cardigan Bay, the Caernarfon Hills and even Bardsey Island. The trail runs along the cliff for 5 km and offers an impressive panorama of the town, the estuary and Cader Idris.

It's accessed by a path on the High Street. You will come face to face with "the Frenchman's grave" where Auguste Guyard, a Frenchman who lived in Barmouth, a great friend of Victor Hugo, is buried.
