Castell y Gwynt, Snowdonia, Wales, United Kingdom Oct 19, 2023

Castell y Gwynt, or "Castle of the Wind," is a striking stone structure nestled within Snowdonia National Park in Wales, United Kingdom. Perched atop Glyder Fach, one of the region"s majestic peaks, this ancient cairn takes on an otherworldly appearance amidst the rugged, windswept terrain. Its formation reflects the power of nature; over centuries, harsh weather conditions sculpted the rocks into a towering spire-like fortress, appearing as if it were crafted by the hands of giants.
