A stone trig point on a popular walking trail to the north of Cardiff has been vandalised.
Walkers found the trig point on Garth Hill, on which a red dragon is stencilled at the top, had been sprayed over with graffiti on Saturday.
Below, the graffiti read: "The dragon has choked on SUV fumes. RIP."
The pinnacle offers views of Cardiff, Penarth and the South Wales coast at 307m (1,007ft) high).

The trig point, before it was vandalised, featured a red stencilled dragon
A walker shared a photograph of the damage on X, saying: "Some absolute tool has vandalised the trig on mynydd Y Garth."
One person replied to the post describing the graffiti as "mindless vandalism", while another said it was a "disgraceful thing to do in such a lovely spot".
