Llanerch Farm trig point
Llanerch Farm trig point
Situated at 349.319m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn, this was built in 1948. It commands a fine view across the Vale of Llangollen and out towards the north Shropshire and Cheshire plains, also westwards to the mountains of Snowdonia. Views to the south are obscured by the fact that it doesn't sit at the top of the hill.
