Preseli Hills

Preseli Hills
Carn Edward mit Sicht auf den Cerrig Lladron

Die Preseli-Berge (engl. Preseli Hills oder Preseli Mountains; walisisch Mynydd Preseli / Y Preselau) sind eine Hügelkette im Norden von Pembrokeshire (Wales). Sie bilden einen Teil des Pembrokeshire-Coast-Nationalpark.

Den höchsten Punkt bildet mit 536 Metern Foel Cwmcerwyn.

In den Preseli-Bergen wurden prähistorische Funde gemacht. Auch wurde gefleckter Dolerit (Bluestone) aus den Preseli-Bergen (Carn Menyn) für den Bau von Stonehenge verwendet.
