This walking guide takes you through the hidden prehistory of the Preseli Hills, home to the famous bluestones of Stonehenge. Designed to link with the Green Dragon walkers’ bus, the routes allow you to start at different points and explore at your own pace. Highlights include the dramatic peaks of Foel Eryr and Foel Drygarn, the Tafarn-y-bwlch standing stones, the Neolithic chambered tomb of Bedd yr Afanc, and Foel Cwmcerwyn—the highest point in the Preselis. Whether you’re looking for a full day’s hike across the ridge or shorter walks to individual monuments, the guide provides routes, context, and a map to help you discover one of Wales’s most evocative prehistoric landscapes.
