Parked in Llain Ffynnon camp site and spoke with friendly Farm and his son who explained that the monument near the pillar was erected for a local man who was bad and banished from Anglesey but in later life became very wealthy and on his death left most of his money to the people of Anglesey.

From minor yellow road at sh314907 take a walk east along red dotted permissive footpath. Entering the national trust land a short uphill easy stretch to summit. 360 degree views. Trig retains a good coat of white paint. Spider plug is missing. Flush bracket faces roughly west. A lovely late afternoon walk following a day walk on the Anglesey Coastal route to Church Bay.

This was my best trig pointing walk in Wales, outside of the Snowdonia National Park, to date. I started off by following the coast path west from Cemaes Bay: past Wylfa Head, the nature reserve at Cemlyn Bay and, over the rocky promontory of Carmel Head, before at last making it up Mynydd-Y-Garn. Mile after mile of rolling farmland of the Isle of Anglesey was laid out before me to the south and beyond, the mountains of mainland North Wales stretched out along the horizon from the Carneddau in the east, right through to Bardsey Island at the tip of the Lleyn Peninsula. It seemed like it should have also been clear enough to view Ireland to the west, but alas, not quite clear enough.

Can be seen from miles around and consequently good views. No sign of gorse fires now. The most striking sight (aside from the Irish ferry, Anglesey Aluminium chimney and Snowdonia) is Wylfa power station. Apparently Wylfa is earmarked for a new nuke as the current one will soon become a monument to 1950's "energy will be too cheap to meter" Britain. as of summer 2010 there are several houses close to the Wylfa site boarded up apparently as a result of local government speculation that Wylfa II is on the cards. :-(
