Dinas Gynfor Hillfort. View from top of the hillfort, looking south across the reed beds. The rampart can be identified by the line of dried bracken on the left of the picture. The blue/grey colour in the slopes across the valley are all bluebels - what a shame the sun was not out to show them at their best!

Dinas Gynfor Hillfort. The view from the east at the beginning of May, with the coastal path turned into a carpet of bluebells!

Dinas Gynfor, location of Hillfort from the east. COFLEIN notes that the location has natural defences on 3 sides, with a rampart constructed between crags on the landward slope to complete the defences.
