If you love the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the offer of artistic treats surprising you in the landscape, I think you’ll enjoy the challenge of finding the work of Dinas’ local blacksmiths in the village. The tennis seat (look on the Sport page for the picture) is one of my favourites but here, as promised, is a small selection within easy walking distance of Tegfan.
