You're standing at Holt Castle, or rather at what's left of it. This is the village of Holt in Wales, right on the River Dee, on the border between Wales and England. Look at the sandstone rock in front of you. It's about twelve metres high, and a proper castle once stood on top of it. It was shaped like a pentagon, with a tower on every corner.
