Combined with the beautiful setting and the architecture of the structure it makes the journey worthwhile even if you walked it from Rowen. The path gets very wet in bad weather and becomes a small stream – good boots are advisable. Cromlech Hendre Waelod Burial Chamber SH 793 748 Return downhill back to meet the A470 and head north, turn left, towards Colwyn Bay. After about two miles a sign for a staggered crossroads appears. Take the angled left turn. Follow this lane for about half a mile until you reach a three way junction with grass in the middle beside a house with a large pond. Take the left turn and drive on until you see a footpath sign. Stop here in the gateway. Cross the style and follow the edge of the top hedgerow over the field to the other side in front of you. There were lots of bullocks when we went. The tomb is in the trees ahead.
		This site suffers from being covered in farm fencing and rusty wire. The setting itself looking towards the River Conwy is beautiful which makes the “vandalism” all the more striking. The tomb has two high portal stones and a very large capstone which has moved and slipped down in the past. It is thought that at one time there was a lintel over the portal stones. Back to Conwy
