Share this Page
Nestled in the lush greenery of Brecon Beacons National Park, in Wales, UK, is the Maen Llia standing stone. A mysterious and historic landmark that dates back to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period, Maen Llia offers an excellent opportunity for intriguing and evocative photography. The stone, an imposing monolith, stands roughly 3.7 meters high, 2.8 meters wide, and 0.6 meters thick, its bulky silhouette contrasting sharply with the serene rural landscape around it. The purpose of the stone remains a mystery, which further adds to its allure and charm. Regardless of its original intent, the stone, covered in lichen, becomes a powerful symbol of the deep and ancient connections between the land and its people. The surrounding landscape, with its rolling hills and valleys, provides a stunning backdrop for photos, especially during sunrise and sunset when the light paints the landscape in dramatic colors.
