About Gliffaes Stone(Llwyn-Y-Fedwen)

This standing stone sits alone on moorland above Crickhowell, looking out across the Brecon Beacons like it's been keeping watch for several thousand years. You'll find it on the slopes of Llwyn-y-Fedwen, weathered and substantial, the sort of monument that makes you stop and think about who put it there and why. Access is straightforward enough - it's on open moorland, so you can walk right up to it without barriers or fees.

Historically minded walkers get the most from Gliffaes Stone. It's not the kind of attraction that holds your attention for hours; fifteen minutes standing here, maybe taking photos or just sitting quietly, feels about right. But if you're already rambling in the hills around Crickhowell, the detour is absolutely worth making. The views alone justify the walk.

Timing matters here. Summer's the obvious choice - the moorland's more accessible and the weather generally cooperates. Winter visits are possible but the ground gets boggy. Allow time for a decent walk rather than treating this as a quick stop. The site connects naturally with the wider landscape rather than fitting into a structured park visit, though both Cwmdu Campsite and Pencelli Castle Caravan & Camping Park sit close enough that you could base yourself there and explore this area properly. The stone works best as part of a longer day on the hills, not as a standalone destination.
