Description

This is an early to mid-19th century milestone associated with the turnpike road that was first established in the 1820s. It is made of slate stone and features a simple chamfered top edge. The milestone is inscribed with "MLS." in the top right corner, and below that, it reads "CARNARVON 4/ BEDDGELERT 9".

Local climate

Milestone sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
