Llyn Dinas, Eryri added to Lakes and Reservoirs in Wales by LordEdam on 15/09/2024

Llyn Dinas, near Beddgelert in Eryri is named after the nearby hill Dinas Emery’s, said to be the original home of the Welsh red dragon. In the story by Nennius (b. 769 AD), King Vortigern tried to build a castle at Dinas Emrys, but the walls kept mysteriously falling down overnight.

The boy wizard Merlin eventually discovered why: two dragons, one red and one white, were fighting in a pool beneath the castle (the red dragon won and became the symbol of the fight against the Saxon foe).

The legend grew, and Merlin became King Arthur’s wise counsellor and court sorcerer.

Chillington Hall & Estate, Wolverhampton (By D0c.Col)

Chillington Hall is a Georgian country house near Brewood, Staffordshire, four miles northwest of Wolverhampton.The Grade I listed house was designed by Francis Smith in 1724 and John Soane in 1785. The park and lake were landscaped by Capability Brown.

The house is the residence of the Giffard family and is only open to the public during specific events or tour open days so see their website below for details. I filmed there a few times and TOAL/Parked at different locations (see marker points), but most of my footage was taken during one of the tours. Parking on tour days is directly in front of the hall. The tour guide was happy for me to film inside and use my drone, with caveats outside (avoid the windows and the family areas around the back of the building if they are in residence).

There is no cafe as such there, but they do cakes and teas and tiolets are readily available.

Most Satellite Navigation devices will bring you to their correct gate using postcode WV8 1RE . On some occasions they will ask for a road name - In which case use Port Lane or Foxes Lane.

Ben Loyal Views (By AlbionDrones)

Stunning Ben Loyal, visible for miles around, and acccessble only from a single farm track...

Views can be captured from many spots, I have marked several TOAL and Car Parking spots, but you can walk up the 2177ft mounting if you have the time - its a long walk n!

Winds are fairly normal in the area, and can be extreme, my AIR3 had its gimbal knocked a few times, but overall it coped well...

Aber Falls (By AlbionDrones)

A 4-mile walk with a 450ft ascent on some very well-maintained paths brought us from the car park to the amazing Aber Falls, a few miles off the A55 North Wales Coast Road just behind Abergwyngregyn.

The walk is a moderate one, of about 4KM, it rises at a good rate for the first half, but the paths are well maintained, so it should be powered wheelchair accessible if you need one.

Car parking is limited and costs £5 for the day - it is a busy site so do go early. There are toilets in the main car park. There is further free parking in village, another 3km away.

The impressive falls are 120 meters tall, and carry the drainage from the high plateau above, falling almost vertically to the valley floor, where the clear waters flow through the village of Abergwyngregyn on their way to the sea. The short river, Afon Rhaedr Fawr, has the highest vertical descent gradient of any river in England or Wales!

A stunning location, with another waterfall also in the valley, and one I think we shall return to once autumn colours are more evident...

Anyhow, it is an enjoyable moderate walk, that is pretty much accessible for most of the walk, and one we both thoroughly enjoyed...

Dinorwic Quarry (By AlbionDrones)

Huge industrial remnants spread over about 4 square miles and about 1500ft.

Park at the marked area on the map and its about a half mile walk to the edge of the quarry on good paths, then you have the quarry opening up in front of you. Main paths very accessible, although some are steep, other areas to explore will require some mobility and fitness.

Lots of drone flyers about - mainly walkers with DJI MINI's...

Also a very exposed site, high winds were evident when we visited...
