Places to see in ( Deganwy - UK )
Deganwy is a small town in Conwy County Borough in Wales with a population of 3,936. It lies in the Creuddyn Peninsula alongside Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea. Historically part of Caernarfonshire, it is in a more English-speaking region of north Wales, with only 1 in 4 residents speaking Welsh as a first language. It is located south of Llandudno and to the east of Conwy, which is on the opposite side of the River Conwy, and with which it forms the Conwy community.
Indeed, the name Deganwy has been interpreted in modern times as Din-Gonwy, which would mean Fort on the River Conwy, but the historical spellings make it impossible for this to be the actual origin of the name although mentioned in Domesday Book is the territory of the Decanae tribe. The original wooden castle was rebuilt in stone after 1210. Deganwy is in the ecclesiastical parish of Llanrhos, and has a Victorian era Gothic parish church dedicated to All Saints.
Deganwy's most notable feature is Deganwy Castle, situated 110 m above the town, which, in the 6th century was fortified as the stronghold of Maelgwn Gwynedd, king of Gwynedd. Deganwy appears to have been the capital of Gwynedd at this time, but this was later moved to Aberffraw on Anglesey. The hill on which the castle was built was fortified many times over the centuries. It was the site of a Norman castle built around 1082 and occupied by Robert of Rhuddlan, and later by Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. The castle was later demolished by Edward I when Conwy Castle was built opposite so that only ruins remain today.
Deganwy has a railway station on the Llandudno branch line with an hourly train service, available on request, to and from Manchester Piccadilly and intermediate stations. The LNWR built at Deganwy a rail connected riverside quay and wharfs, largely for the purpose of exporting slate by coastal steamer. The slate was brought by rail from Blaenau Ffestiniog. A marina with its accompanying housing and hotel accommodation was established on the site of the former slate wharfs early in the 21st century.

Anglesey ... Druids Island
Hello :):):) .
Another visit to one of my favourite places in the UK -Anglesey off the west coast of Wales.
On a beautiful day I was able to capture many parts of this lovely Island Including some of its beautiful coastline and many of the prehistoric sites and monuments scattered which the Island is famous for.
Anglesey has a rich history going back thousands of years right up to recent times with its reputation for copper mining and the site of one of the country’s first nuclear power stations.
Weather permitting, Anglesey is a great place to visit with something new to see every time I go.
Hope you enjoy my pictures. Thank You x :) :) :)

Avebury
Avebury represents religious architecture of the Beaker and Bronze Age people and is both the most spectacular and most important early bronze age monument in Europe. Although the chronology of it's construction is uncertain, it dates from about 1800 B.C. making it roughly contemporary with Stonhenge which is to be found only 18 miles away. While Stonehenge has larger stones, Avebury is a much larger in area - 360 yards in diameter. It is surrounded by a 13 foot ditch but was originally some 30 feet deep, and is surrounded by a massive outer bank of chalk. It is a spectacular place to visit.
Avebury is a World Heritage site, in the care of the National Trust. It is a place of great spiritual significance. Like many ancient monuments, it remains in use by present day pagans. There are signs of ritual offerings in the area.
The music is called Dusk which is available on Transalarm Recordings -- a free royalty free download site:
The site is to be found 1 mile north of the A4 between Marlborough and Calne, on the A361 Swindon/Devizes Road
