River Dee flood Flood waters at their highest looking West outside St Hilary's Church, Erbistock on the road to the Boat Inn on the 6 February 2011. The sundial pillar is on the right. Compare this to the normal river level shown in older picture "The River Dee near the church at Erbistock" by Eirian Evans.

Part of the River Dee / Afon Dyfrdwy near Overton A typical section of river bank in this area with the river licking past at quite a rate. In early spring it is already busy with pairs of ducks and waterfowl. I also saw some fish jumping.

Cave in a crag above the River Dee / Afon Dyfrdwy opposite Erbistock The rocky outcrop here has a cave or two in it and here the cave or overhang roof has collapsed in one big slab. It's probably around the size of a grand piano (with the lid down).
