Historical background
An area which was traditionally dominated by the small Lleuar
estate, whose last squire, Captain William Ridsdale, sold it
to the Wynnes of Glynllifon before his death at Dettingen in
1743.
Key historic landscape characteristics
River valley, some industrial and relict archaeology
A narrow river valley within the rolling landscape of area
34, which contains a writing slate mill, re-used as a dwelling,
and which is dominated by the earth banks of the hill-fort
of Craig y Dinas which occupies a bend in the river. The splendid
scheduled bridge, Pont y Cim, lies to in the western part of
the area.
