Castle Bank (Radnorshire)
Castle Bank (Radnorshire) submitted by TimPrevett : A situation worthy of Lord of the Rings - Castle Bank in Radnorshire. Its situation is best appreciated from the hills surrounding its location in the vast natural amphitheatre. The univallate earthwork and stone ring are easily traced from this distance. A fine 3D fly-through model can be seen of this at Llandrindod Wells museum. (2 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)
