SO1730 : Castell Dinas

near to Pengenffordd, Powys, Great Britain

Castell Dinas
Castell Dinas
The mounds on the right are the remains of what appears to have been the central keep of this former fortress. They now form the highest point of the hill at around 1500ft above sea level. The spot affords magnificent views to the Wye valley to the north and down that of the Rhiangoll to the south - something which would presumably have been of some interest to its one-time occupants. Views east along the 'Dragon's Back' to the high point of the Black Mountains at Waun Fach and west to Mynydd Troed are another good reason for making the short ascent to this summit.
