View south-westwards from the bouldery upper slopes of Yr Eifl
The view from these bouldery slopes is dominated by hills formed by volcanic intrusions during the Caledonian orogeny. These igneous rocks were intruded through the softer Ordivician rocks which now form the surrounding lowlands. The smoke plume in the distance, might resemble that of a volcano, but is actually the result of the seasonal burning of gorse and heather.
