What an absolute hidden gem. Located in quite deep in the hills, this is named Castell Nos or Night Castle but it's not known for sure what it actually was. It is certainly some structure but historians aren't sure it was actually a Medieval castle or not. It's quite a small sight but with the beautiful backdrop around it really stands out. Long sweeping views of green hills, blue skies and the windfarms add a little bit extra. It's a little tricky to get here as it requires a reasonable length walk through the grassy fields. But it's absolutely worth it. I'm glad to have discovered it #celebratewithtrip #uk #naturalwonders #travel

Dare valley country park is a jewel of South Wales. Covering a huge area this is wild rugged nature at it's best. Perfect for rambling, dog walking, family playtime or just getting some fresh air. This is a great choice for all the above. The main feature is the lake, teaming with ducks and geese it's a tranquil spot. There are several beaches around where you can sit and admire the nature. Surrounding the lake are many fields and hills, with beautiful grass and gorgeous views. It's great to just walk in different directions and see. You'll likey encounter horses too. #bucketlistreboot #outdoors #tripblazers

Great day out with my family here and lots to do! Park and pump track for bikes and scooters. Lovely walks around the lake suitable for most and dog walkers. Great cafe for snacks and drinks. Free parking! Brilliant!
