Foel Drygarn Walk
This walk climbs to the Iron Age Hill Fort on the top of Foel Drygarn in the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire.
You can start the walk from the public car park which lies just to the south east of the hill. From here you can pick up a trail heading north west to the hill summit which stands at a height of 363 metres. Here you will find a trig point, rocky outcrops and some splendid views over the surrounding hills to the coast at Dinas Head. There's also the three ancient stone cairns, regarded as Bronze Age burial mounds.
To continue your walking in the area you could head west along the Preseli Hills Golden Road and visit the nearby peaks of Foel Cwmcerwyn and Foel Eryr.

View from Foel Drygarn towards Dinas Head. I am standing on one of the three cairns, surrounded by the acidic grassland of the Iron Age hilltop fort. In the middle distance there is the bleak open moorland of the Preseli mountains to the left and lush enclosed farmland to the right. The sea is just visible in the dip on the horizon.

The fort from above with the three cairns. The remains represent a long period of occupation of the fort, and it is supposed that not all the dwellings were in use at the same time. Sabine Baring-Gould, excavating the site in 1899, found Iron Age and Roman pottery, glass beads and many sling stones
