A circular stone memorial with one half raised as a viewing point, spans some three metres (9ft 8ins) and is topped with carved slate depicting the broadcaster Wynford Vaughan Thomas in walking gear pointing to Snowdon. The illustration highlights all 13 peaks in Wales above 3,000ft (914m).
Sadly over the years it fell into disrepair and suffered vandalism. Around 2008 with the help of individuals and organisations generously contributing towards the repair funds, the CPRW managed to raise £11,000 towards the restoration of this wonderful landmark, a special and fitting tribute to one of Wales' greatest environmental champions and a person who truly appreciated the importance and magnificence of our Welsh landscapes.
