SO2062 : On top of the tumulus on the summit of Whimble in Radnor Forest
taken 13 years ago, near to New Radnor, Powys, Wales
On top of the tumulus on the summit of Whimble in Radnor Forest
The summit area of the Whimble offers extensive all round views. It is 599m above sea level so you can identify many significant summits across South Wales and the Welsh Marches and into distant Mid Wales.
The tumulus is a Bronze Age burial mound, one of several in the area, (where at least 19 have been identified), including many on the valley floor (now long ploughed out but showing up in aerial photos in the right conditions), not just on high points on skylines etc.
The three distinctive gullies on Great Rhos running down into Harley Dingle are called the Three Riggles, a nice colloquial nickname.
