  • A Short Guide to Castell Dinas Bran
    11/12/2018 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Education - Guides - Dinas Bran Cymraeg / English A short guide to Castell Dinas Bran by the Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Castell Dinas Bran (OS national grid reference SJ222430) is both a hillfort and medieval castle. The Iron Age defences and medieval castle are located high above the valley of the Dee overlooking Llangollen. The castle is sited on a long rectangular platform which may have been artificially levelled. The ground drops away steeply on all sides but particularly to the north with its crags and cliffs. The site is a scheduled ancient monument. The hillfort has a single bank and ditch enclosing an area of about 1.5 hectares. To the south and west the defences are most considerable being up to 8 metres high in places. The entrance lies in the south-west corner of the fort and is defended by an inward curving bank. To the north the fort is defended by the natural steepness of the land and no earthwork defences were required. The castle was built towards the later part of the 13th century by the princes of Powys Fadog and was the site of a meeting between the sons of Gryffydd Maelor in 1270 when they granted the lands of Maelor Saesneg for the upkeep of their mother, Emma Audley. During the wars between Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Wales and Edward I of England the castle was burnt by the Welsh before it was captured in 1277 by Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln. It was not repaired and ceased to be used after the 1280s.

    The Powys Review NUMBER EIGHT Angus Wilson SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE "A very distinguished novel ... It is superb entertain- ment and social criticism but it is also a poem about the life of human beings - a moving and disturbing book and a very superior piece of art.'' Anthony Burgess, Observer "Wonderfully intricate and haunting new novel. The complex relationships between art and reality . are explored with a mixture of elegance, panache and concern that is peculiarly his ... magnificent." Margaret Drabble, Listener "As much for the truth and pathos of its central relation- ships as for the brilliance of the grotesques who sur- round them, I found Setting the World on Fire the most successful Wilson novel since Late Call. I enjoyed it very much indeed.'' Michael Ratcliffe, The Times "A novel which will give much pleasure and which exemplifies the civilised standards it aims to defend." Thomas Hinde, Sunday Telegraph "A book which I admire very much . this is an immensely civilised novel, life enhancing, with wonder- fully satirical moments.'' David Holloway, Daily Telegraph "... an exceptionally rich work . the book is witty, complex and frightening, as well as beautifully written.''

This AONB almost touches the coast at Prestatyn Hillside in the north and stretches south as far Moel Fferna, the highest point in the AONB at 630 metres, it covers 390 square kilometres of windswept hilltops, heather moorland, limestone crags and wooded valleys. The Clwydian Range is an unmistakeable chain of purple heather-clad summits, topped by Britain’s most strikingly situated Hillforts. The Range’s highest hill at 554 metres is Moel Famau, a familiar site to residents of the North West. The historic Jubilee Tower surmounts this hill with views over 11 counties. Beyond the windswept Horseshoe Pass, over Llantysilio Mountain, lies the glorious Dee Valley with historic Llangollen, a famous market town rich in cultural and industrial heritage. The AONB is led by the Joint Committee (JC), the Committee consists of two Executive Members from each of the three local authorities that the AONB straddles.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy
    Environment Directorate Contaminated Land Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Revision 4 | February 2013 Foreward This Contaminated Land Strategy describes how Flintshire County Council is required to identify sites within its administrative control that may be affected by land contamination. The document also explains the statutory guidance, legislative provisions, processes and procedures that the Council will follow in order to investigate those sites, to identify statutorily Contaminated Land where necessary and to remediate Contaminated Land. The Council first published its Contaminated Land Strategy in September 2002. Since then a number of investigations to assess land contamination have been carried out and significant changes to legislation and guidance documents have taken place. This revision of the Strategy has taken these changes into account and amendments have been made where necessary. This revision of the Strategy replaces all previous revisions of Flintshire County Council’s Contaminated Land Strategy. Flintshire County Council Environment Directorate Public Protection Pollution Control Section Phase 4 County Hall Mold Flintshire CH7 6NH Contaminated Land Strategy Revision 4 February 20 Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2 Executive Summary Land can be affected by contamination in the environment as a result of human activity and as a result of natural processes. The presence of contamination may cause harm or present risks to health, animals, buildings or the environment. However, just because contamination is present does not mean that the land is Contaminated Land or that there is a problem. On 1st July 2001, legislation requiring land contamination to be investigated and addressed was enacted in Wales. The legislation is known as Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and it introduced a detailed way by which land contamination could be regulated.

Water quality is generally very good, reflected in the surface and groundwaters abstractions made for drinking supplies, and supports important salmonid fisheries. However, there are issues which must be addressed if the potential of the plan area is to be realised Surface and groundwater resources are finely balanced and only careful management will ensure that groundwaters are not in future depleted'. Coastal water quality, important to the tourist industry, requires improvement through introducing new sewage disposal schemes whilst pollution prevention activity is essential towards reducing the number of agricultural and other incidents affecting freshwaters.
