Preseli Hills, Mountain range in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The Preseli Hills extend for 13 miles from Newport to Crymych, reaching their highest point at Foel Cwmcerwyn at 536 meters above sea level.
The region contains numerous Bronze Age burial cairns and Iron Age hill forts, with ancient stone ramparts, banks, and ditches scattered across the landscape.
The area maintains strong Welsh-speaking traditions within its small towns and villages, including Blaenffos, Boncath, Eglwyswrw, Maenclochog, and Tegryn.
The Golden Road provides an 8-mile walking route across the hills, offering views toward Ireland and Snowdonia on clear days.
Geologists identified these hills as the source of the bluestone rocks used in the construction of Stonehenge, located 180 miles away in Wiltshire.
