Memorial toposcope, Wynford Vaughan-Thomas pointing towards Snowdon
In 1990 a memorial was unveiled at the Cadair viewpoint (at 52°32′56″N 3°43′06″W / 52.5489°N 3.7183°W) to the broadcaster and writer Wynford Vaughan-Thomas. It is a toposcope, looking out over the rolling hills and mountains, with a depiction of Vaughan-Thomas pointing towards Snowdon, Wales' highest peak, which is just visible on a clear day.[1]
