Crowning a craggy hilltop high above Llangollen, Castell Dinas Brân – the Crow’s Fortress – is one of the most dramatically-sited and legend-haunted strongholds in the whole of Britain. Set within the corner of an Iron Age hillfort, it is one of the few surviving Welsh-built stone castles, constructed in the 13th Century by Gruffudd ap Madoc, ruler of northern Powys.

The castle’s air of mystery is enhanced by the fact it can only be reached on foot or bike after quite a stiff climb. But the route has been made easier by a wide range of improvements undertaken by AONB staff and volunteers, who have been busy installing waymarking, kissing gates and stone pitching paths at the castle itself.

The rewards of the climb are not only fabulous panoramic views but also the chance to explore the castle ruins.
