Gwylfa Hiraethog, the 'Watch-tower of Hiraethog', I love this this place myself, behind The Sportsman's Arms on the A543, between Bylchau and Pentrefoelas, up on the Denbigh Moors. The view from the top is incredable. Grid ref: SH950590
Built between 1908 and 1913 by millionaire politician Hudson Ewbanke Kearley, the first Viscount Devonport as a hunting lodge almost 500 metres above sea level. By the 1950's it had fallen into disuse and has slowly decayed since then. Would have been nice to have seen it maybe 15 years ago when some of the walls were still standing and parts of the roof, must have looked a bit intimidating on its own out on the moors.

The yellow paint says "Meibion Glyndŵr" (Sons of Glyndŵr) was a Welsh nationalist movement violently opposed to the loss of Welsh culture and language, They were responsible for setting fire to English-owned holiday homes in Wales from 1979 to the mid 1990s, wasn't them who destroyed this place thou but it's kind of intimidating in such a lonly place
