Llandovery Castle

Llandovery Castle (Welsh: Castell Llanymddyfri) is a late thirteenth-century, Grade II*-listed, castle ruin in the town of Llandovery in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It occupies a knoll overlooking the River Towy and the land surrounding it. The Normans built a castle in the current location in the early twelfth century and this was rebuilt in stone. It was burnt in the early sixteenth century and never repaired. History A Norman knight, Richard Fitz Pons, received the lordship of Cantref Bychan in 1116 and he probably began construction of a motte-and-bailey castle in 1116. It was repeatedly lost to the Princes of Deheubarth over the next several generations. King Henry II of England spent a great deal of money repairing the castle in 1159–62, but the Welsh captured it regardless. It finally fell to the English under Edward I in 1277. It was briefly recaptured by Welsh forces under Llywelyn ap Gruffudd five years later. The castle was then granted to John Giffard, 1st Baron Giffard, who likely rebuilt it in stone. The building passed to the baronial Audley family of Heleigh in 1299 (who later inherited the lordship of Cemaes in north Pembrokeshire) and then into the Touchet family in the fourteenth century. King Henry IV of England visited the castle in 1400 and it was besieged during the Owain Glyndŵr rebellion three years later. The castle was burnt in a rebellion led by Hywel ap Rhys in 1532 and was never rebuilt. Description The keep is a large D-shaped tower on the western side of the castle. The gatehouse has two towers on the north side with a well-tower. There are also remnants of the curtain wall around the filled-in ditch.

Château de Llandovery

Le château de Llandovery est un château en ruines situé à Llandovery, dans le comté du Carmarthenshire au Pays de Galles. Il occupe un promontoire qui domine la rivière Towy et les environs. Les Normands en ont commencé la construction en 1116. Il a été attaqué et partiellement détruit par les forces galloises de Gruffydd ap Rhys Ier. Il est resté la possession des Normands jusqu'en 1158 quand Rhys ap Gruffydd, le plus jeune fils de Gruffydd en devient propriétaire. Le château passe aux mains des anglais sous Édouard Ier en 1277. Il est attaqué pendant la rébellion d'Owain Glyndŵr en 1403 qui l'a laissé partiellement en ruines. Il est depuis laissé à l'abandon et n’a jamais été restauré.

Llandovery Castle

Kasteel Llandovery is een ruïne in het plaatsje Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Het is gebouwd op een strategische heuvel uitkijken over de rivier de Brân. De Normandiërs begonnen met de bouw van het kasteel in 1166. Kort daarna werd het aangevallen en gedeeltelijk vernietigd door Gruffydd ap Rhys. Het kasteel bleef wel in Normandische handen totdat Rhys ap Gruffydd, de jongste zoon van Gruffydd ap Rhys, het in 1158 veroverde. In 1277 viel het onder Eduard I in Engelse handen. In 1282 werd het kortstondig veroverd door Welshe troepen onder aanvoering van Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf. Na de gedeeltelijke vernietiging tijdens de Welshe opstand van Owain Glyndŵr in 1403 raakte het kasteel in verval. Externe links http://www.castlewales.com/llandov.html

Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr

Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr (English: Large Vale Hospital) is a community hospital at Ystrad Mynach in Caerphilly County Borough in Wales. Opened in 2011 and officially inaugurated in 2012, it was built to centralise and modernise healthcare services in the region, replacing several older local hospitals. The £172 million facility is managed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and features 269 single ensuite rooms, offering a broad range of inpatient and outpatient services, emergency care, and specialist units. History Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr was developed as a Local General Hospital to serve the Caerphilly County Borough in Wales, replacing the facilities Aberbargoed Hospital, Caerphilly District Miners Hospital, Oakdale Hospital, and Ystrad Mynach Hospital. The name Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr translates from Welsh into English as "Large Vale Hospital". Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr was designed to expand local access to healthcare services by significantly increasing outpatient services, emergency and urgent assessment capacity, and offering comprehensive diagnostics, surgery, rehabilitation, maternity, and mental health care. A key target was to ensure that around 90% of patients could be treated locally, reducing the need for travel. The hospital also introduced 24-hour minor injuries care and new services such as hydrotherapy and a Midwifery Led Birthing Unit. Its modern design with all single-patient rooms, integrated mental health services, and evidence-based architectural features was intended to improve patient privacy, infection control, and overall quality of care. Despite its central location, some residents in outlying areas of the borough continue to access services at neighbouring hospitals due to geographical convenience. Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr was officially opened in March 2012 by Welsh Minister for Health and Social Services Lesley Griffiths, who called it a model for the future of NHS care in Wales. The £172 million facility, which began receiving patients in November 2011, features 269 ensuite single rooms to support infection control and patient privacy. Services Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr has 269 beds in single ensuite bedrooms for medical surgical and palliative patients and also has a minor injuries unit. Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr is managed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, which is responsible for National Health Service in Caerphilly, as well as Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire, Newport, and Torfaen.

Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital

Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Llanfrechfa Grange) is a medical facility providing assessment and treatment services for people with learning disabilities. It is located to the east of Cwmbran on the B4236 road towards Caerleon to the south-east. It is managed by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. The main building is a Grade II listed building. History The site was previously occupied by Llanfrechfa Grange, a country house which was built for Charles Prothero in the middle of the 19th century. It was "a large mansion in the Elizabethan style, pleasantly situated in a park of about 30 acres and overlooking the Valley". It passed to Francis Johnstone Mitchell in 1860, the Cleeve family in 1913, Sir John Cecil Davies in 1921, Elsie Louise Llewelyn in 1922 and to a property developer in 1933. In 1953, Llanfrechfa Grange started providing long term residential accommodation for people with learning disabilities. In the early 1960s it had more than 500 beds, provided in a series of accommodation blocks called villas. Although it still had more than 300 residents in 1983, following the introduction of Care in the Community shortly thereafter, the hospital went into a period of decline and it finally closed to inpatients in 2008. A Learning Disabilities Assessment and Treatment Unit was kept open at the site. In 2017 work to create and construct Grange University Hospital, a new specialist critical care centre, started on the site. References External links Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital
Gileston Manor

Gileston Manor is a manor and country house located in the small village of Gileston near St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. History and description The house contains remnants of a late medieval building, but the exterior and some of the internal fittings date from the 18th century. The building is square in plan and has two main storeys, as well as an attic and cellars. A wide staircase occupies the middle of the house while the front bedrooms are lined with 18th-century wall panelling. The west wing is the oldest part of the building, with roof trussess suggesting it dates to the early 1500s. The exterior south (front) façade is a later remodelling of the early 1700s, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows and a hipped roof. The house has a large 18th-century walled garden and summer house. The manor is believed to have been held by a family with the surname Jule or Giles, until the last male heir died in 1673. The house was then passed on to two female heiresses and subsequently, during the 18th century, was occupied by a succession of village clerics. For example, in 1771 the Bishop of Llandaff recorded that the village population consisted of a farmer, his wife, son and servants, an old man and an old woman, while the rector and his family was also the squire and occupants of the manor house. The manor house became a Grade II* listed building in 1952. In 2009, the house and grounds were reported to be on sale with an asking price of £2.5 million. References
Coedty Reservoir

Coedty Reservoir is a reservoir in Snowdonia, North Wales. It is fed by the waters of Afon Porth-llwyd which flows from Llyn Eigiau. The reservoir lies at a height of 900 feet (274 m), and measures some 12 acres (49,000 m2) in size. It contains brown trout. The original dam was built in 1924 to provide hydro-electric power to the aluminium smelting works in Dolgarrog. In 1925, the Eigiau dam broke, and the flood of water from that also burst Coedty dam. The resultant flood caused the loss of 16 lives in Dolgarrog. The dam was rebuilt in 1926, and altered again in 1956. Water from the reservoir, which has a catchment area of around 27 square kilometres, is carried via a large metal pipe 3 km long, down to the hydro-electric power-station in Dolgarrog. Coedty dam is a balance tip dam; water flows from it automatically when it reaches high levels. This excess water flows into a spectacular gorge used by outdoor pursuit groups. Gorge walking here, however, can be dangerous because of the sudden releases of water from the reservoir which can occur. The eastern side of the lake is skirted by the trackbed of the former Eigiau Tramway, created to aid the construction and maintenance of Llyn Eigiau dam. Nearby the Cowlyd Tramway branched off, built to aid the construction of the dam at Llyn Cowlyd. References
Койдти (водохранилище)

Койдти (валл. Llyn Coedty) — водохранилище на севере Уэльса, в Сноудонии, на территории о́круга Конуи. Его питают воды реки Авон-Порт-Ллуид (валл. Afon Porth-llwyd), которая течёт с озера Ллин-Эйгиай (валл. Llyn Eigiau). Водохранилище лежит на высоте 274 метра и покрывает территорию в 0,49 км². В водохранилище водится рыба кумжа. С 1908 по 1911 год в 2,5 милях вверх по течению и к западу от нынешней дамбы, на озере Ллин-Эйгиай была возведена другая, 10,7 метров высотой и 992 метра в ширину. Она предназначалась для снабжения электричеством поселения Долгаррог (валл. Dolgarrog), плавления алюминиевой руды и прокатки металла. В 1924 году в Долгарроге была построена гидроэлектростанция, а с ней и дамба Койдти. Её размеры составляли 11 метров в высоту и 262 метра в длину. Вода из водохранилища переносилась вниз к гидроэлектростанции с помощью большого металлического трубопровода. 2 ноября 1925 года дамбу Эйгиай прорвало из-за недостатков конструкции — её основание было недостаточно заглублено, и поток воды пробил под дамбой канал 21 метр в ширину и 3 метра в глубину. Мощность потока составила более 1,4 миллиона кубических литров в час. Напор воды разрушил водосброс дамбы Койдти и её саму. В результате наводнения в Долгарроге погибло 16 человек. Дамба была восстановлена в 1926 году и изменена опять в 1956 году. В 2013 году проводились работы по замене 1200 метров старого водопровода на новый, который укладывался под землю. При помощи водохранилища вырабатывается до 15 мегаватт электричества, чего достаточно для обеспечения нужд около 5 тысяч жилых домов. Из-за внезапных выбросов воды из водохранилища гулять в ущелье ниже дамбы небезопасно. Примечания
Brecon Castle

Brecon Castle (walisisk: Castell Aberhonddu) er en borg i byen Brecon, Wales. Den blev opført af den normanniske Lord Bernard de Neufmarché i 1093, og blev hyppigt angrebet af waliserne i 1200- og 1400-tallet. Ejerskabet af borgen skiftede også mange gange. Den begyndte at gå i forfald da Henrik 8. henrettede den sidste hertuger af Buckingham, der på dette tidspunkt kontrollerede borgen. I begyndelsen 1800-tallet blev den renoveret og omdannet til hotel. Se også Borge og slotte i Storbritannien og Irland Borge og slotte i Wales Referencer Eksterne henvisninger

Brecon Castle uppfördes 1093 av normanden Bernard de Neufmarché, bror till Vilhelm Erövraren. Slottet bytte ägare flera gånger under de många krigen som knöt Wales till den engelska kronan. Edward Stafford, 3:e hertig av Buckingham föddes på slottet och efter hans avrättning 1521 föll det allt mer i ruiner. Det är sedan 1800-talet renoverat. Källor
Hay Castle

Hay Castle (walisisk: Castell y Gelli) er en middelalderfæstning og et landsted fra 1600-tallet i byen Hay-on-Wye i Powys, Wales. Den blev oprindeligt opført under den normanniske invasion af Wales i slutningen af 1000-tallet eller begyndelsen af 1200-tallet. Den blev genopført i sten omkring 1200 af Braose-familien. Den havde herefter en turbulent historie, og blev angrebet og nedbrændt flere gange under både første og anden baronkrig, krigene med de walisiske prinser, glyndwroprøreret og rosekrigene. I 1600-tallet blev der opførte en jakobetiansk landsted ved siden af keepet, og ejendommen blev et privat hjem. Store brande i 1939 og 1977 ødelagde borgen, og på trods af reparationer i 1980'erne, så er meget af bygningen forfalden og ustabil i dag. Siden 2011 har den været ejet af Hay Castle Trust, der planlægger at renovere stedet. Se også Borge og slotte i Storbritannien og Irland Borge og slotte i Wales Referencer Eksterne henvisninger

Worm’s Head

Worm’s Head [wɜːmz 'hed] ist eine Insel bzw. Halbinsel nahe Rhossili, am südwestlichen Ende der Halbinsel Gower in Süd-Wales. Der Name leitet sich von ihrer Ähnlichkeit mit einem Drachenkopf ab, die sie von höhergelegenen Punkten wie Rhossili Down aufweist – worm ist im älteren Englisch die Bezeichnung für Drache (siehe auch Lindwurm bzw. Wyvern). Die beiden höchsten Punkte auf Worm’s Head liegen im Mittelteil, etwa 35 bzw. 55 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Touristische Bedeutung Die Besonderheit von Worm’s Head ist, dass die Gezeiteninsel etwa zwei Stunden (abhängig vom jeweiligen Tidenhub) vor und nach dem Ebbe-Tiefstand zu Fuß erreichbar ist. Von Rhossili ist der Übergang zur Insel möglich, vom Beginn der Landbrücke bis zum Ende der Insel in etwa 60 Minuten Gehzeit. Beliebt ist Worm’s Head wegen der Möglichkeit, von dort aus Seehunde zu beobachten. Devil’s Hole (auch Devil’s Bridge genannt) ist ein durch Erosion entstandene Felsbrücke, ähnlich des Prebischtors in Tschechien. Die Felsbrücke ist Zugang zum hinteren Inselteil.

Worm's Head

Worm's Head (Welsh: Pen Pyrod) is a headland, at Rhossili, part of the City and County of Swansea, Wales. It is the furthest westerly point of the Gower Peninsula. The name Worm's Head is derived from an Old English word 'wyrm' for 'sea serpent'. The headland of carboniferous limestone comprises three islands: the Inner Head, the Middle Head which features a collapsed sea cave which is known as the Devil's Bridge, and the Outer Head. In total, it is approximately one mile long. The Inner Head is up to 200 yards wide. Worm's Head is only accessible on foot for 2+1⁄2 hours either side of low tide, fatal to attempt to wade or swim to when the causeway from the mainland is flooded. The poet Dylan Thomas initially described the Worm's Head as "the very promontory of depression" and was forced once to spend the night on the Head after being trapped by the tide. Visitors are still caught out by the incoming tide and, in September 2020, seven Swansea University students were rescued by the local RNLI lifeboat after getting stranded on Worm's Head by the incoming tide. In January 2025, during Storm Éowyn, another seven students were rescued from the island. References External links

Der Betreiber des Parks – Aspro Parks – verkündete am 4. März 2025, dass der Park nicht wieder eröffnen wird. Somit drehte die Bahn am 3. November 2024 ihre letzten Runden. Somit drehte die Bahn am 3. November 2024, dem letzten Betriebstag des Parks, ihre letzten Runden. 2026 soll sie im Schwesterpark Walygator Sud-Ouest wieder eröffnet werden. Sie war neben "Saw – The Ride" im Thorpe Park, "Rage" in Adventure Island und "Mumbo Jumbo" im Flamingo Land die einzige Achterbahn im Vereinigten Königreich, die eine Abfahrt von mehr als 90° besaß. Der Lifthill, der die Wagen auf eine Höhe von 35 m brachte, besaß eine Steigung von 90°. Die Fahrt bestand weiterhin aus einem 97° steilen First Drop, einem Hügel mit −1,3 g, einem Overbanked Turn von 110°, einem Looping, einer Heartline-Roll und einer Helix. Zum Erstellen der Konzeptzeichnungen wurde zum größten Teil das Computerprogramm NoLimits benutzt. Wagen Speed: No Limits besaß vier einzelne Wagen.

Speed: No Limits

Speed: No Limits was a steel roller coaster at Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was manufactured by Gerstlauer and was the first Euro-Fighter model to be installed in the United Kingdom. The ride was installed by Ride Entertainment Group. It opened on 13 April 2006, and operated until 3 November 2024. It has since been relocated to Walygator Sud-Ouest in Agen, France. Its lift hill was 35 metres (115 ft), and it featured top speeds of 95 km/h (59 mph). The ride had two inversions, and exerted a maximum of 4.5 Gs on riders. It featured a vertical chain lift hill and a 97° first drop. This drop gave it a five-way tie for the record of steepest roller coaster drop between itself, Rage, Fahrenheit, SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge, Vild-Svinet and Typhoon, until Steel Hawg took the record in 2008. Trains The ride had four trains, each consisting of two rows with four across seating, for a total of eight riders per train. The trains featured over-the-shoulder restraints. Ride experience Upon dispatch from the station, the train made a right-hand turn before ascending the 35-metre (115 ft) vertical chain lift hill. This was followed by a 34-metre (110 ft) beyond-vertical first drop at an angle of 97°, reaching a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph). The train then traversed a camelback hill and entered an overbanked turn at 110°, which led into a vertical loop before rising into a block brake section. Following a small dip, the train navigated a heartline roll, then turned left with a slight incline and entered a double helix that led into the final brake run. The train completed the circuit with a right-hand turn returning to the station. The full ride lasted approximately one minute and 30 seconds.

Speed: No Limits

Titan (anciennement Speed: No Limits) sont des montagnes russes de type Euro-Fighter construites par Gerstlauer du parc Oakwood Theme Park, situé à Canaston Bridge dans le Pembrokeshire, au Pays de Galles, au Royaume-Uni. Ce sont les montagnes russes les plus hautes, les plus rapides et les plus inclinées du Pays de Galles. Depuis 2026, l'attraction a déménagé au parc Walygator Sud-Ouest suite à la fermeture définitive du parc Oakwood Theme Park. Parcours Le parcours commence par un lift hill vertical d'une hauteur de 35,1 mètres suivi d'une descente inclinée à 97 degrés. Les wagons atteignent une vitesse de 95 km/h au bas de la descente, ce qui produit une accélération de 4,5 g. Ensuite, il y a un airtime de 1,3 g. Il est suivi d'un overbanked turn incliné à 110 degrés et d'un looping vertical. Les wagons passent ensuite dans une série de freins. Après ça, il y a une petite descente et un zero-G roll et l'attraction se termine par une double spirale qui mène dans les freins finaux. Trains Titan utilise quatre wagons individuels. Chaque wagon a deux rangs de quatre places, pour un total de huit passagers par wagon. Ils utilisent les anses de sécurité standards des Euro-Fighter.
