Local tip

Bodowyr is a compact Neolithic passage grave standing in farmland between Llangaffo and Brynsiencyn. Its big rounded capstone sits on three uprights. It has never been excavated, so whatever it holds is still a mystery.

Good to know

Free, open in daylight. There is no car park, so park considerately. Pair it with Bryn Celli Ddu, about 3 miles away.
