From atop Castell Dinas Bran the Llangollen Vale is a feast for one’s eyes. Nestling on the banks of the boulder-strewn River Dee and with dramatic mountain backdrop, the charming town is an inspiring location for all sorts of events, entices domestic and foreign crowds from all directions and rightfully stakes a claim to fame as Dee Valley’s hub and gateway to its glorious countryside.

Cheers, Anne! It was a little laborious walk uphill to reach the viewpoint, with the temperature at around 28C, but a lot of entertainment once atop. They had a re-enactment of "Lord of the Rings", so it gave me a chance to finally meet Gandalf the Grey.

Thanks, Dale! Beautiful is an understatement for most of the North Wales countryside. It is like being in a different country altogether.
