Jubilee Pillars

The Jubilee Pillars at 800 feet above sea level were erected at the start of the circular walk around Foel Lus to commemorate the Jubilee of Queen Vicotoria in1887. The Jubilee walk was opened in 1888. The walk affords excellent views out to sea. It cost was £50, for construction and £5 for the pillars.
