Carmel trig point.

Mynydd Llanfihangel Rhos-y-corn - number S2528

Peace monument and trig point on Mynydd Llanfihangel rhos-y-corn.

The trig point at the top of Mynydd Llanfihangel Rhos-y-corn is interesting for a number of reasons. Firstly it lies alongside a Peace Monument constructed by Brian Denman, secondly it is about the easiest to get to as you can nearly drive to it. And also it has perhaps the longest name for a location among the Carmarthenshire trig points
