Victorian Postbox in lane

In use as the house's postbox nowadays. Inscribed as VR. Possibly a Chinese facia plate, as the 2 crowns show it's not genuine.

View to Bodelwyddan Castle from the park

A view to Bodelwyddan Castle from the park (seen from grid square SJ0074). The castle as seen today is mostly a Victorian facade but covers a core that could possibly date back to the 13th century. Archaeologists have found Roman remains on the site, and suspect they relate to a settlement adjacent to the nearby Roman road. Wikipedia Link
