Castell Dinas Brān seen from the east. In the journal kept by the Revd Bingley on his tour of north Wales in 1798 he noted that 'its conical hill, seems to close up the end of the vale, and imperiously to hold in subjugation all the surrounding counrty. This sylvan vale, justly celebrated for its numerous beauties, affords many picturesque and highly romantic scenes'.
