 " Pistyll Rhaeadr and Wrexham steeple,  Snowdon's mountain without its people,  Overton yew trees, St Winefride wells,  Llangollen bridge and Gresford bells."   On my recent trip there, I discovered that I'd visited two of the 'seven wonders of Wales' by accident! They're actually all to be found in North Wales, and it doesn't look too unreasonable to collect the set over a couple of days. So for anyone who finds themselves in that neck of the woods, here's the full list: The 240ft waterfall Pistyll Rhaedr, known as "the hidden pearl of Wales". St Giles' Church in Wrexham, or more precisely its 16th century tower (spireless, so not technically a steeple). Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales (not sure why the poem objects to its people!) The ancient yew trees in the churchyard of St Marys', Overton. St Winefride's Well, a holy well in, well, Holywell. The Llangollen Bridge, the site of the first stone bridge across the River Dee. The bells of All Saints' church, Gresford.  (Adapted from my entry on everything2.com)
