A scene of man-made desolation. Parys Mountain is many things to different people. Trig point is easy to locate, from the free car park on the north side, just aim on the tracks for the old windmill. Great views all around today.

Purpose built car park on roadside of B5111. A copper mine and now a heritage trail. A labyrinth of easy paths lead to this pillar. The trig is situated 30m north of a derelict windmill. Spider plug is missing and flush bracket faces south. Base of pillar and ground around is severely eroded. A mini Grand Canyon and very interesting walk pushes this score to a 7.

My actual third visit to this geologists paradise but first official bag of the pillar. Nice stroll round the large opencast pit on a blustery but dry day. Pillar in decent nick, although a bit of a crack on the NW side (continues around too) and cap missing. Stood on concrete plinth a bit above ground level. Fantastic views in every direction.

Good parking at entrance to this heritage site, a disused copper mine, due W of the trig. Walked up and down over old spoil heap on a direct bearing to the windmill and trig. Pillar found in a sorry state: slightly leaning, but not by much; foundations becoming undermined; extensive horizontal cracks extending to 3 sides; graffiti etched into one side and lettering filled with a hard white substance "I LOVE KAREN" - well we probably all loved a Karen once, but not sure I'd proclaim it on a trig pillar! Cap missing, remains of an asphalt plug present; RHD side sight hole open. 360deg panorama. An interesting place, windmill is full of information of the extensive underground tunnels.

Visited on a circular walk from Penysarn which also included Llaneilian trig pillar. It was super windy up at the top and the nearby wind turbines were going like billy-oh.

The landscape is a little strange after the whole area has been mined. Could taste the iron sulphate as I walked along the tracks.

As said previouslyno plug and some kiddies graffiti on here (who cares who loves who!) but generally in good nick. Originally found as Maxiboo22 but re-logging to get all trigs under 1 account.

Some graffiti on the pillar. No plug. SSSI maintained & promoted as a public amenity by Amlwch Industrial Heritage Trust. Easy walk over from Penysarn along muddy public footpath, then ascent of waymarked tracks from east side to windmill & trig. Advise keeping to paths, as there is potential danger from old mine workings.

Popped up and down from the road, very interesting little hill, bagged Mynydd Bodafon the hour before.

Really strange location for a Trig pillar, nearby delerict windmill adds to the atmosphere. Quite an easy walk following the footpath from Penysarn. Nice

A few cracks to the top part of the pillar as previously noted. Spider, hooks, and FB all there. Concrete base is crumbling though.

Very unusual but not attractive landscape and well worth including in any trigging trip. Cracks appearing as previously noted.

a place of savage bizarre beauty. a visit on a sunny day is recommended to really appreciate the colours in the waste stone.

shallow cracking, remains of asphalt plug, by tower/?windmill remains at summit. The whole hill wasted by 3 millennia of shallow mining

Next to the old copper mine on Anglesey, with 'moonscape' type terrain all round. Ok, but plug missing. Public, as part of the 'mine walks'

Interesting location. You cross a moonscape of old quarry workings to get to the ruined windmill where the trigs located. There are new windmills in the foreground (Anglesey is covered in them). A previous visitor loved Angela apparently. Base eroded, tarmac plug pushed through.

This pillar is in a truly spectacular location; situated by the base of a disused windmill, it is surrounded by an old copper mine, with multi-coloured rocks strewn around abyssally deep gashes in the hillside. A spectacular place to visit.
