Plas Power Woods, early Autumn
One of those spots where i've seen loads of photos but never been to. Spent a good hour here looking for compositions and taking photos, definitely a place to come back to!
This ancient woodland stretching along the Clywedog Valley is one of the Trust’s most popular Welsh sites. It’s home to some wonderful wildlife and its diversity of plant species make it a botanist’s paradise. What’s more, it’s packed with historical interest and contains one of the most impressive sections of Offa's Dyke.

Plas Newydd, home to the Marquess of Anglesey
Set on the shores of the Menai Strait amidst breathtakingly beautiful scenery, Plas Newydd is the home of GeoMôn’s patron.
This 1930s restyled interior is famous for its Rex Whistler association and contains his exquisite romantic mural and the largest exhibition of his works.
There's a fine spring garden and Australasian arboretum, with an understorey of shrubs and wild flowers, an italianate-style summer terrace, and massed hydrangeas which give autumn colour.
A woodland walk gives access to a delightful spring and early summer rhododendron garden.
From the house and grounds, the views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia are simply stunning.
A house is said to have been in existence on the site since the 13th century known as Llwyn-y-Moel. From about 1470, it belonged to the Griffith family of Penrhyn who built a house early in the following century. In 1553, Ellen Griffith married Sir Nicholas Bagnall and their granddaughter Ann married Lewis Bayly, Bishop of Bangor and the house became the home of the Bayly family until the 17th century. Lewis Bayly made substantial extensions to the house, building the big hall and adding towers, changing the name to Plas Newydd of ‘new hall’. Sir Nicholas Bayly who became one of the most influential men on the island when he married Caroline Paget in1737, heiress to Beaudesert estate Staffordshire.
