Wonderful find on the roadside outside of Llangollen. The sign at the nearby abbey mentioned the pillar, so I went up to see it. 1000-year-old monument on a 4000-year-old hill. Both the hill and the monument are fenced off, so you can't climb up and get a closer look. Definitely worth the stop.
An amazing tranquil place of great history
We had a lovely view of Eliseg's Pillar from the garden of the Abbey Grange Hotel
If you're looking for somewhere to entertain the kids then this isn't for you if you are after a fascinating glimpse into Welsh history then it is well worth the effort
Eliseg's Pillar is a fragment of a 9th century cross six metres tall. Destroyed by iconoclasts during the English Civil War in 1640, the pillar holds an inscription of the lineage of the Kings of Powys back into the mists of mythology. The cross was erected on the a Bronze Age barrow, the earthworks of which remain to this day.
