Dinas Mawwdwy & Llanymawddwy Valley
My Grandparents went to this beautiful valley in the 1940's. Then for the rest of their lives. We are now a 3rd generation of friends with a family from the area.
This place in Wales is very dear to my heart I have been going there all my life it is a place I feel safe. My Grandparents took my mother, my mum took me & now I take my own kids, I love the area. It's like a comfy pair of slippers & I wish I could go there more often.
The caravan park owned by Mr Pughe
In 1972 when my parents had a caravan on Mr Pughes site we had a Sprite Muskateer owned first by my grandad, Lesley Fellows and his wife Louise. I have very fond memories of the caravan site, and can still remember all the old caravans there.

Extracts From Dinas Mawddwy & Powys books
The recently afforested mountains near Dinas changed the landscape for a generation. Distinctive Welsh woollen cloth was manufactured at the mill in the village, and has latterly become a tourist outlet for these products. Dinas Mawddwy is also infamous for the murder of one Lewis Owen, Baron of the Exchequer and Vice Chamberlain of North Wales. He was put to death by a group known as the Red Bandits or Gwylliaid Cochian (on account of the colour of their hair) of Dinas Mawddwy in 1555. They were notorious for making raids and causing mayhem in a wide area, and Owen had attempted to curtail their activities.
