Castell Dinas Brân (probably crow's fortress in Welsh) is a medieval castle which stands on a hilltop site overlooking the town of Llangollen. It is thought to have been built in the 1260s by Gruffydd Maelor II, a prince of Powys Fadog, on the site of an Iron Age hillfort and other earlier structures.

For cycling there are plenty of places to park where the roads out of Llangollen cross the canal. Be aware that the climb up to the panorama was brutal on our tandem chain.... 16% climb for quite a while
