Derek Brockway visits Portmeirion and Llangollen

Derek Brockway remembers his favourite three walks around north Wales, including climbing three peaks in the Cadair Idris mountain range and taking an icy dip in a glacial lake. Derek recalls a visit to the Italianate village of Portmeirion, where he also discovered 'Y Gwyllt' - 'the wild' headland beyond, and his walk along the Dee Valley Way, a stunning 13-mile route which took him from the pretty town of Corwen to its larger and more bustling neighbour, Llangollen
