Craig yr Aderyn - Castell y Bere

From Peniarth the road runs along the windings of the little River Dysynni for 2.5mi/4km to Craig y Aderyn, the nesting-place of large numbers of sea birds, including cormorants. A little further on, the ruins of Castell y Bere, perched on a hilltop the far side of Llanfihangel, provide a fairy-tale-like backdrop. The fortress, which dates back to pre-Norman times, was already in ruins by the 14th century.
