Ewloe Castle

Ewloe Castle (walisisch Castell Ewlo) ist eine Burgruine in Flintshire in Wales. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I klassifizierte sowie als Scheduled Monument geschützte Ruine liegt nordwestlich des Ortes Hawarden. Die Anlage ist typisch für die von den walisischen Fürsten im 13. Jahrhundert errichteten steinernen Burgen. Geschichte Die Geschichte der kleinen Burg ist nur wenig belegt. Die älteste und einzige zeitgenössische Erwähnung der Burg stammt von Pain de Tiptoft, 1. Baron Tibetot, der in einem Bericht von 1311 schreibt, dass die Burg 1257 vom walisischen Fürsten Llywelyn ap Gruffydd zurückerobert und ausgebaut wurde. Einige Forscher vermuten, dass eine erste Burg bereits in der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts als Erd- und Holzbefestigung von Fürst Owain Gwynedd errichtet wurde, doch für diese Theorie gibt es keine Belege, dazu ist die Lage untypisch für Befestigungen mit Erdwerken. Vermutlich wurde die Burg in der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts durch Fürst Llywelyn ab Iorwerth als walisische Befestigung gegen das nahe gelegene englische Hawarden Castle erbaut. Während der Eroberung von Wales durch König Eduard I. fiel die Burg vor 1283 in englische Hände. Danach hatte sie ihre militärische Bedeutung verloren und verfiel. Die Anlage wird von Cadw verwaltet und ist zu besichtigen. Anlage Die Burg befindet sich in einer beherrschenden Stellung auf einer Anhöhe über dem nördlich der Burg liegenden Wepre Brook, zu dem das Gelände steil abfällt, während an der Ostseite ein weiterer Bach dem Wepre Brook zufließt. Zum ansteigenden Gelände an der Südseite sowie zur Ostseite besaß die Burg einen tiefen, in den Fels gehauenen Graben. Die Burg bestand aus zwei Baugruppen. Im höher gelegenen östlichen Teil der Burg befand sich ein mächtiger, D-förmiger Keep, wie er für walisische Burgen dieser Zeit typisch ist. Der Turm war über dem Kellergeschoss zweigeschossig, von der Wohnhalle im unteren Stockwerk sind noch Lanzettfenster an der Südseite erhalten. Der Turm war von einer bis zu 4,5 m hohen Ringmauer umgeben. Der niedriger gelegene westliche Teil der Burg wurde von einem zweigeschossigen Rundturm beherrscht, auch dieser Turm war von einer Mauer umgeben, die im Norden und Süden an die höher gelegene Mauer um den Keep anschloss. Der Zugang zu der Burg führte über einen Erdwall und eine hölzerne Brücke zu dem einfachen Burgtor an der nordöstlichen Ecke der Ringmauer. Vom oberen Burghof führte dann ein weiteres einfaches Tor in den niedriger gelegenen westlichen Hof. Heute ist die Anlage stark zerfallen und liegt in dicht bewaldeten Gebiet.

Castello di Ewloe

Il castello di Ewloe (in inglese: Ewloe Castle; in gallese: Castell Ewlo) è un castello fortificato in rovina del villaggio gallese di Ewloe, nel Flintshire (Galles nord-orientale), costruito in gran parte dopo il 1257 forse per volere di Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf ap Gruffydd, ma con elementi risalenti agli inizi del XIII secolo. L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado ed è gestito attualmente dal Cadw. Storia Il castello di Ewloe fu costruito dopo il 1257, ovvero dopo che i Gallesi riuscirono a strappare agli Inglesi quell'area del Flintshire. Tuttavia, la cosiddetta "Welsh Tower", visibile tuttora, pare risalga già al 1210 ca. e sarebbe stata costruita da Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. Nel 1277, il castello di Ewloe fu assediato e conquistato in seguito da Edoardo I d'Inghilterra. Fu però l'ultima occasione che vide il castello protagonista di azioni di guerra: per questo motivo, oltre per il fatto che Edoardo I preferì occupare i castelli più prossimi al mare (come il castello di Flint e il castello di Rhuddlan), l'edificio iniziò a cadere progressivamente in rovina. Nel 1311, uscirono i Chester Plea Rolls, dove si trova un resoconto fornito da Payne Tibotot, sulla storia del castello di Ewloe. Questa fonte cita Llywelyn ap Gruffydd come costruttore del castello e cita la data del 1257. Architettura Le rovine del castello di Ewloe si ergono su un promontorio boscoso che si affaccia sulla Weprey Valley. L'edificio ha la struttura di una motta castrale. La "Welsh Tower", che si erge in cima al castello, pur avendo una forma di abside, ricorda la struttura dei maschi dei castelli inglesi del XII secolo. Leggende Secondo una leggenda, il castello sarebbe infestato dalla presenza dei fantasmi degli "uomini in marcia".

Flugplatz Pembrey

Der Flugplatz Pembrey (englisch Pembrey Airport, walisisch Maes Awyr Pen-Bre, ICAO-Code: EGFP) ist ein walisischer Flugplatz nahe dem Ort Pembrey, Carmarthenshire. Geschichte Der Bau des Flugplatz Prembrey begann 1937. Ab 1939 wurde der Flugplatz von der Royal Air Force unter anderem als Flugschule verwendet. 1957 wurde RAF Pembrey geschlossen und der Flugplatz daraufhin überwiegend zivil genutzt. Im Jahr 2000 richtete die neugegründete walisische Fluggesellschaft Air Wales ihren flugtechnischen Hauptsitz am Flugplatz ein und bediente ab hier diverse Routen mit Flugzeugen vom Typ Dornier 228. Die Basis wurde jedoch bereits 2001 zum Flughafen Swansea verlegt. Derzeit wird der Flugplatz unter anderem von Isles of Scilly Skybus für Charterflüge verwendet.

Pembrey Airport

Pembrey West Wales Airport is 6 NM (11 km; 6.9 mi) west northwest of Llanelli (9 NM (17 km; 10 mi) south of Carmarthen) in Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, in Wales. Pembrey has one hard runway designated as 22LH/C and 04RH/C. The airport and its ICAO code EGFP were withdrawn from the Aeronautical Information Publication in July 2022. Pembrey airport is inside the Royal Air Force danger area D118 known as Pembrey Sands Air Weapons Range. Pembrey is open seven days a week but only open at weekends unless a prior booking is made, due to an LOA with the MoD to operate civil and commercial flights during operational hours as long as any visiting aircraft obtain the required prior permission required (PPR) from the RAF. The licence has been temporary withdrawn for construction work to be completed on one of the taxiways by the CAA along with taxiway Bravo the APAPI and NDB systems History Construction of the airfield for RAF Flying Training Command started in 1937 and by September 1939, the RAF's No. 2 Air Armament School was the first unit to be stationed at the airfield. By May 1940, the three tarmac runways had been completed. During World War II Pembrey was an active RAF station and was host to the RAF's Air Gunnery School, after which its activities relaxed a little and it became an air crew holding unit for crews being demobbed. Between 1946 and 1949 RAF Fighter Command was in control of the airfield; work was then put in hand to lengthen Runway 04/22 to take jet aircraft. From 1949 to 1952 21 Wing RAF Regiment (comprising 15 and 63 Squadrons RAF Regiment) were based at Pembrey. With Runway 04/22 extended to nearly 6000 feet, 233 OCU moved in on 1 September 1952, initially with D.H Vampire aircraft and then with Hawker Hunter aircraft. The unit stayed until 13 July 1957. The airfield closed in September 1957. Post 1958 part of former RAF Pembrey airfield was turned over to agriculture and part was used as a motor racing circuit. On Thursday 22 August 1997 Pembrey was officially opened as a civil airfield by Captain Winston Thomas at a cost of 3.5 million pounds and named Pembrey West Wales Airport using a single runway (04/22) with a declared length of 805 metres. On 18 December 2009, Isles of Scilly Skybus operated the first charter flight into the airport. The flight originated from Newquay using a 16-seater aircraft. As of 2010, there were plans to lengthen the runway and lighting arrays to allow larger commercial aircraft to land. Airlines and destinations As of 2025, no airlines operate to any scheduled or charter destinations from Pembrey. Airlines that have formerly operated at Pembrey include regional carriers Air Wales, Air Independence and Air Winton.

Falcondale Lake

Falcondale Lake is a man-made lake in the hamlet of Falcondale near Lampeter in Ceredigion It was created as part of the landscaping for Falcondale House. The lake now supports fishing and nature trails. The lake was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1982 as the only lake in the county supporting reed sweet- grass and blunt-leaved pondweed but its designation was revoked in 2004 when better sites for these species were identified and because the trophic state of the lake had deteriorated from mesotrophic to eutrophic.

Ffynone House School

Ffynone House School is a private co-educational secondary day school in Swansea, Wales. It is situated in the Uplands area of the city at 36 St. James Crescent. The school teaches children from age 4 to 18 (Primary to GCSE and A Level). It is owned by a charitable trust. History Ffynone House School is located on the site that was formerly St Winefride's Convent School for Girls, run by nuns from 1887 to 1969 and throughout the Second World War. Ffynone House School was opened in 1973 by Swansea businessman Marshall David, and became Ffynone House School Trust (FHST) following the latter's death. In 2007, both primary and secondary school businesses were purchased by Cognita, a private education consortium. The capital assets and freeholds of both schools remained the property of FHST. In 2013, Cognita considered the viability of maintaining the school in its current form which was located on two separate sites. The primary and secondary schools were subsequently separated; the Oakleigh House primary department remained inside the Cognita consortium, and Ffynone House School's secondary department was transferred back to the ownership of the FHS Charitable Trust. The school remains open as an independent day school in the Uplands area of Swansea. 2019 exam results All qualifications, with the exception of ICT, are graded using the 9-1 system.

Ffynnon Llugwy

Ffynnon Llugwy is a lake in the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales. It lies at a height of about 1,786 feet (544 m) and covers an area of some 40 acres (16.19 ha). It has a maximum depth of 146 ft (45 m). Since the early twentieth century water has been taken from its outflow, the River Llugwy to feed Llyn Cowlyd via a series of leats. Since the mid-1970s the lake has additionally acted as a reservoir for Bangor and eastern Anglesey, which necessitated the laying of a pipeline some 11 mi (18 km) long to the water treatment works at Mynydd Llandygai. It is the source of the River Llugwy which flows via Capel Curig and Betws-y-Coed before becoming a tributary of the River Conwy. References
Fiddler's Elbow National Nature Reserve

Fiddler's Elbow National Nature Reserve is a steep sided, woodland national nature reserve of 45 hectares in the Upper Wye Valley to the north of Monmouth in Wales, close to the Wales–England border. It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its biological characteristics, containing a wide variety of flora. Geography The 44.3-hectare (109-acre) nature reserve, which was notified as an SSSI in 1971, is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of the town of Monmouth in Monmouthshire on the eastern banks of the River Wye. The entire site contains the named woods of Lady Grove, Priory Grove to the north and Garth Wood in the south. The A4136 road runs through the middle of the reserve and Offa's Dyke Path, a National Trail, runs through the southern part of the reserve. The eastern side of the site is owned and managed by the Woodland Trust and the western side is owned by a private individual, being managed in partnership with Natural Resources Wales, the successor body to the Countryside Council for Wales. It also forms part of the Wye Valley Woodlands Special Area of Conservation. The reserve is underlain by sandstones from the Devonian period. Wildlife and ecology Flora As with other woodland in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fiddler's Elbow contains many local and rare tree species. Of particular rarity in the county are the areas of English oak (Quercus robur) and Cornish oak (Quercus petraea) with small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) coppice. Also within the nature reserve are common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), common beech (Fagus sylvatica), common hazel (Corylus avellana) and English yew (Taxus baccata). The reserve also contains a large variety of ground flora, being known as a bluebell wood. Spring-flowering plants that occur on the site include the bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), common primrose (Primula vulgaris), lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria), ramsons (Allium ursinum) and wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa). Orchids are also present, with the varieties bird's-nest (Neottia nidus-avis), early purple (Orchis mascula) and the greater butterfly-orchid (Platanthera chlorantha) being found. The very rare ghost orchid (Epipogium aphyllum) has once been found within the site as well. Fauna Dormice can be found within the reserve, feeding off the brambles, hazel, honeysuckle, oak and sycamore. Roe deer are also present, but can cause a problem through over-grazing, therefore some parts of the woodland are fenced-off to protect it. In addition, the nature reserve's management policy, which includes leaving fallen or standing dead wood in situ, also provides ideal habitats for fungi and invertebrates. References
Fishguard and Goodwick RFC

Fishguard and Goodwick Rugby Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Abergwaun ac Wdig) is a Welsh rugby union team from Fishguard which also represents the town of Goodwick in South-west Wales. Fishguard and Goodwick RFC is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Scarlets. The club fields a First XV, youth team and junior sides. Club history A rugby union team has played in the Fishguard and Goodwick area since the first decade of the twentieth century, with the earliest photo showing a Goodwick Rugby Football team from the 1907/08 season. However, the first Fishguard team was formed sometime in 1887 during the 1887/1888 season. Rugby football was suspended during both World Wars, but by the 1950s a joint Fishguard and Goodwick team was reformed and playing in minor leagues against local opposition, with their traditional rivals being St. Davids RFC. By the 1990s the club was a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and was playing in the Pembrokeshire League (Jewson League). With the introduction of the professional era, Fishguard and Goodwick found themselves in the West region of the WRU leagues, becoming a feeder club for the Scarlets. The last three years have seen the club finish in the mid to top regions of WRU Division Five West finishing third in the 2009/10 season. In 2011 the club benefited from a £1.3 million grant to build a new sports facility for the area. Fishguard and Goodwick RFC contributed £50,000 to the build, which included £20,000 from the Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust, a grassroots improvement scheme which is funded through all ticket sales from the National Stadium. The new centre included new team changing rooms and a referee changing room for use by the club. During the 2012-2013 season, Fishguard and Goodwick RFC reached the final of the SWALEC Bowl competition, with the final being held at the Millennium Stadium. They lost 27-17 to Wattstown RFC, however it is the highest achievement the club has to date, with no other Pembrokeshire club having reached any national final. The club received the freedom of the twin towns for their achievement in reaching the final. It is a little known fact that the first fridge freezer sold in Wales was to Fishguard and Goodwick RFC in 1958. References
Flintshire Bridge

The Flintshire Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Dee Estuary in North Wales. The bridge links Flint and Connah's Quay to the shore north of the River Dee at the southern end of the Wirral Peninsula. The bridge cost £55 million to construct. This cost was met by the then Welsh Office and in the future, maintenance costs are expected to be the responsibility of the local authority Flintshire County Council. The bridge was officially opened in 1998 by Queen Elizabeth II. It carries part of the A548 road and has been nicknamed 'the bridge to nowhere' as it does not link up with the North Wales Expressway. It is the largest asymmetric cable-stayed bridge in Britain. Gallery See also List of bridges in Wales References External links
Fonmon Castle

Fonmon Castle (walisisk: Castell Ffwl-y-mwn) er en befæstet middelalderborg, der ligger nær landsbyen Fonmon i Vale of Glamorgan. Fæstningen har rødder tilbage til 1100-tallet, men den nuværende bygning er en arkitektonisk sjældenhed, idet den blev ombygget i 1700-tallet, men ikke i nygotik, som ellers var udbredt i perioden. Man mener, at borgen kun har været ejet af to familier; fra normannertiden var den ejet af St Johns, og fra 1656 af Colonel Philip Jones' efterkommere. Det er en listed building af første grad.

Fort Hubberstone

El Fort Hubberstone (o Hubberstone Fort) és una construcció militar en la zona oest del municipi gal·lès d'Aberdaugleddau (ó Milford Haven), que va ser començada a construir en el 1858, l'any abans que es constituís la Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom (la Reial Comissió per a la Defensa de la Gran Bretanya), però amb el mateix esperit que aquesta; va ser acabat el 1863. Es tractava d'una gran bateria artillera, amb onze canons en casamates, vuit peces per dessobre en bateria a cel obert, nou més cobrint el flanc, i una gran caserna en la part posterior. La guarnició en fou retirada el 1884, l'armament retirat definitivament a l'any següent i la posició fou abandonada poc després de la Primera guerra mundial. En molt bona posició, les instal·lacions han patit força el pas dels anys. Venut per l'Estat el 1932, s'utilitzà com a refugi antiaeri durant la Segona Guerra Mundial. Els nous propietaris, el 1977, parlaren de restaurar-lo, però el 2002 el més probable semblava que acabés aterrat per a fer-hi habitatges. El nom s'escriu sovint Hubberston Fort, com la zona del municipi on està situat. Referències Enllaços externs Fort Hubberstone Arxivat 2007-07-11 a Wayback Machine. (anglès)
