Dinas Gynfor submitted by pab : Dinas Gynfor Hillfort. Looking across the landward slope towards the west - the rampart is on the upper half of the slope, safeguarding the approach across the (wonderful!) reedbeds in the valley. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Defended naturally by cliffs on three sides and a double row of wall to the south, this fort has lovely views out to the Irish Sea.

Dinas Gynfor submitted by pab : 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! (Vote or comment on this photo)
