<p>Commentary. <br />
<br />
The old mansion at Nymans, partly destroyed by a massive fire in 1947, takes on a grotesque, eerie and mysterious mood on misty days when the torso of its Gothic/Tudor stonework looms out of the damp, murky gloom. On a summer's day, like this, it is absolutely delightful..</p>

<p>Penycloddiau means Hill of the Dykes or Hill of the Trenches.<br />
<br />
&quot;Penycloddiau is a hill in Flintshire, Wales, and one of five Marilyns in the Clwydian Range.<br />
<br />
&quot;The hill, like Foel Fenlli and Moel Arthur to the south, has an Iron Age hillfort at its summit. It covers 26 hectares (64 acres) making it one of the largest hillforts in Wales. In 2017, excavations by the Clywdian Range Archaeology Group (CRAG) unearthed a significant number of 4,000-year-old stone tools from the Bronze Age, the discovery indicates human activity occurred much earlier than first thought in the area.<br />
<br />
&quot;Penycloddiau is crossed by the Offa's Dyke Path and the Clwydian Way, two long distance footpaths that traverse the hills in this area.&quot;<br />
