query: Pembroke Castle is the largest castle in Wales that is privately owned.

pos: Pembroke Castle Pembroke Castle ( Castell Penfro ) is a medieval castle in Pembroke , West Wales . The castle , which has been a Grade I listed building since 1951 , underwent a major restoration in the early 20th century . It was the original seat of the Earldom of Pembroke .   In 1093 Arnulf of Montgomery built the first castle at the site when he fortified the promontory beside the Pembroke River during the Norman invasion of Wales . A century later this castle was given to William Marshal by Richard I. Marshal , who would become one of the most powerful men in 12th-century Britain , rebuilt Pembroke in stone creating most of the structure that remains today .   The castle , which is open to the public , is the largest privately owned castle in Wales .

neg: Castle Quarter Castle Quarter ( Cwr y Castell ) is an independent retail destination area in the north of the city centre of Cardiff , Wales . Castle is also a community ( parish ) of Cardiff .   The Castle Quarter includes some of Cardiff 's Victorian and Edwardian arcades : Castle Arcade , High Street Arcade and Duke Street Arcade , and principal shopping streets : St Mary Street , High Street , Castle Street and Duke Street . The Castle Quarter hosts over 80 independent businesses .   Development of the area by Cardiff Council began in February 2010 aiming to create the Castle Quarter , particularly High Street and St Mary Street , into a pedestrian friendly environment to enhance the city centre . In 2014 the shopping arcades and other major properties in the Castle Quarter were purchased by property firms with view to restoration and improvement .   The recent restoration work has seen The Castle Quarter embrace it 's Victorian and Edwardian roots . The ethos behind this is to reintroduce people to authentic Cardiff , independent retailers in the heart of the city .

neg: Geology of South Wales South Wales is an area with many features of outstanding interest to geologists , who have for long used the area for University field trips .   This varied and accessible region has provided a written record of geological interest that dates to the 12th century , when Giraldus Cambrensis noted pyritous shales near Newport . Some of the first published representations of fossils were of fossil plants from coal measures near Neath ( Gibson late 17th century ) . The British geologists Adam Sedgwick and Roderick Murchison did fundamentally important work in South Wales on Old Red Sandstone and the underlying rocks . The first volume of memoirs ( 1846 ) published by the Geological Survey contained a conspectus of the geology of South Wales that set a template for all future work .   Significant discoveries continue to be made . For instance , in Carmarthenshire , in the late 70s , John Cope detected a small area of Precambrian and Cambrian rocks . Other parts of South Wales , however , have not seen a Geological Survey officer since the mid-19th century . The geology of south Wales was central to the massive contribution Wales made to the Industrial Revolution .   Several successive periods are represented , including all of the Palaeozoic periods . Pembrokeshire has outcrops of both Precambrian and Cambrian ( 542-488 million years ago ) rocks . A notable feature of the Ordovician system ( 488-444 million years old ) is a major subsidence area , or basin , which later filled with substantial thicknesses of mostly sandy and muddy sediment . The line of the shallower continental shelf area , to the south-east , ran approximately from the Long Mynd ( in Shropshire ) to Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire . Some volcanic action also occurred . This thick sedimentary deposition continued into the Silurian period ( 444-416 million years old ) . Silurian volcanicity led to production of lavas at localised sites such as Skomer Island .   Silurian rocks are widely distributed in south Wales and are well displayed on the Cardiganshire coast . The Silurian and earlier rocks were folded , faulted , and distorted several times , notably during the late Ordovician , and late Silurian , by which time the area had begun to rise above sea level as mountain ranges were uplifted to the north-west . This was caused by the collision of a proto-North America ( `` Laurentia '' ) and the present southern Britain ( `` Eastern Avalonia '' ) . The intervening sea , the Iapetus Ocean , closed as a result of plate tectonic movements , similar to those that now close the Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Africa .   The succeeding Devonian period ( 416-359 million years ago ) saw mostly alluvial deposits ( `` Old Red Sandstone '' ) , which were interrupted by major uplift . Following this , the land subsided again in the Carboniferous period ( 359-299 million years ago ) . In the early Carboniferous period , limestones were deposited on a continental shelf , which deepened towards the south where there was a major sea area . During earth movements caused by the approach of a continent from the south , sea shallowing led to thick alluvial and coastal plain sediments ( see below ) containing economic developments of coal . Carboniferous Limestone outcrops occur in south Pembrokeshire , the Gower Peninsula , the Vale of Glamorgan and around the edge of the coalfield .   At the end of the Carboniferous , during Permian ( 299-251 my ago ) time , Wales is thought to have been a landmass . Only in late Triassic ( 251-200 my ago ) times did deposition return , with coarse-grained screes forming around a series of low but rugged hills . Continuing deposition led to the formation of the early Jurassic deposits of mudstones and muddy limestones ( the `` Lias '' ) . Deposits later than this are almost completely absent , although the Chalk sea probably covered most of Wales between 100 and 66 million years ago . Any such later deposits have been eroded away .   One of the geological rarities of south Wales is the coastline of St Brides Major at Ogmore-by-Sea and Southerndown . Its cliffs are composed partly of earliest Jurassic Sutton stone , a rare freestone that is a marginal or coastal deposit derived in part from erosion of carboniferous limestone . Sutton stone has always been highly regarded : as well as being used in construction throughout the Vale of Glamorgan , it was also shipped over the Bristol Channel to North Devon and North Cornwall , which are both deficient in limestone .   A major geological feature of the Upper Carboniferous rocks in south Wales is the south Wales coalfield . The rocks comprising this important area were laid down during the later Carboniferous . This sedimentary succession includes a sequence with a thickness of more than 1800 m in the west . The coal measures were laid down on a low-lying waterlogged plain with peat mires immediately south of an ancient and persistent geological feature known as the Wales-London-Brabant High . Burial converted the peat deposits to thinner coal seams . Later earth movements distorted the coal-bearing strata , and the difficulty of mining led to premature closure of many mines on economic grounds , especially in Pembrokeshire where seams were squeezed completely out of shape .

neg: Bronwydd Castle Bronwydd Castle ( or simply Bronwydd ) was a Welsh country house in Cardiganshire , owned by the Lloyd family . It is just south of Llangynllo/Llangunllo , halfway between Cardigan and Lampeter . Sir Thomas Lloyd , 1st Baronet rebuilt the original 18th-century house in the Gothic Revival style in the 1850s . The family sold the house in 1937 after the death of Sir Thomas ' son and daughter-in-law ; after World War II the house was stripped of its fittings and has been left in ruins .

neg: Dryslwyn Castle Dryslwyn Castle ( Castell y Dryslwyn ) is a native Welsh castle , sited on a rocky hill roughly halfway between Llandeilo and Carmarthen in Wales . It stands on high ground overlooking the Tywi Valley with extensive views . It was built in about the 1220s by one of the princes of the kingdom of Deheubarth , and changed hands several times in the struggles between the Welsh and English over the ensuing centuries . It is considered one of the most important remaining structures built by a Welsh chieftain and is a Grade I listed building .

neg: List of Scheduled Roman to modern Monuments in Carmarthenshire Carmarthenshire is a large rural county in West Wales . It includes mix of upland and mountainous terrain and fertile farmland . The western end of the Brecon Beacons National Park lies within the county . Across Carmarthenshire there are a total of 370 Scheduled monuments . That is too many to have on a single list page , so for convenience the list is divided into the 227 prehistoric sites and the 143 Roman , medieval and post-medieval sites ( shown below ) . Included on this page are 29 sites from Roman period ( most , but by no means all military , and predominantly in the north of the county ) , and 10 early medieval sites ( all crosses or inscribed stones ) . There are 57 sites dating to post-Norman medieval times , including a remarkable collection of 8 castles and a further 25 castle mounds . The 47 varied post-medieval sites include clusters along the coastal area . Carmarthenshire is both a unitary authority and a historic county . Between 1974 and 1996 it was merged with Cardiganshire ( now Ceredigion ) and Pembrokeshire to form Dyfed .   All the pre-Roman sites are listed at List of Scheduled prehistoric Monuments in Carmarthenshire   Scheduled Ancient Monuments ( SAMs ) have statutory protection . It is illegal to disturb the ground surface or any standing remains . The compilation of the list is undertaken by Cadw Welsh Historic Monuments , which is an executive agency of the National Assembly of Wales . The list of scheduled monuments below is supplied by Cadw with additional material from RCAHMW and Dyfed Archaeological Trust .

neg: Tredegar House Tredegar House ( Welsh : Tŷ Tredegar ) is a 17th-century Charles II-era country house mansion in Coedkernew , at the western edge of the city of Newport , Wales . For over five hundred years it was home to the Morgan family , later Lords Tredegar ; one of the most powerful and influential families in the area . Described as `` The grandest and most exuberant country house '' in Monmouthshire and one of the `` outstanding houses of the Restoration period in the whole of Britain '' , the mansion stands in a reduced landscaped garden of 90 acre ( 0.14 of a square mile ) forming the non-residential part of Tredegar Park . The property became a Grade I listed building on 3 March 1952 and has been under the care of the National Trust since March 2012 .   The Welsh name of the house is nowadays `` Tŷ Tredegar '' , but this is somewhat unauthentic and is obviously a translation of `` Tredegar House '' . The name is merely `` Tredegar '' historically , or to cite an earlier form ( 1550 ) `` Tredegyr '' ( the form Tredegar shows the influence of the local Gwentian dialect of Welsh ) . A form more in keeping with Welsh naming practice , instead of tŷ , would be Plas Tredegar or Plas Tredegyr but it does not seem that this was ever in use either .   Tredegyr is `` farmstead of Tegyr '' ( tre , a form of tref = farmstead ) + soft mutation ( t > d ) + Tegyr . A Brythonic form * Tecorix ( fair king ) might be supposed , as such a form would have resulted in Welsh `` Tegyr '' following normal processes in the development of Welsh from Brythonic . There is a similar name in Denbighshire -- Botegyr , meaning `` Tegyr 's dwelling '' , < Bod Degyr < ( bod = dwelling ) + ( soft mutation t > d ) + ( Tegyr ) .

neg: Haverfordwest Town Museum Haverfordwest Museum is a local history and heritage museum in Haverfordwest , Pembrokeshire . Collections include local and social history , the history of the castle , and a selection of local art . The museum is housed in the former governor 's house , a Grade II listed building , at Haverfordwest Castle , the former town prison . In 2012 Pembrokeshire County Council decided to sell the current site for use commercially , and relocate the museum to another site . The site has not been sold and the museum is still open .

neg: Cardiff Castle Cardiff Castle ( Castell Caerdydd ) is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion located in the city centre of Cardiff , Wales . The original motte and bailey castle was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a 3rd-century Roman fort . The castle was commissioned either by William the Conqueror or by Robert Fitzhamon , and formed the heart of the medieval town of Cardiff and the Marcher Lord territory of Glamorgan . In the 12th century the castle began to be rebuilt in stone , probably by Robert of Gloucester , with a shell keep and substantial defensive walls being erected . Further work was conducted by Richard de Clare , 6th Earl of Gloucester , in the second half of the 13th century . Cardiff Castle was repeatedly involved in the conflicts between the Anglo-Normans and the Welsh , being attacked several times in the 12th century , and stormed in 1404 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr .   After being held by the de Clare and Despenser families for several centuries the castle was acquired by Richard de Beauchamp in 1423 . Richard conducted extensive work on the castle , founding the main range on the west side of the castle , dominated by a tall octagonal tower . Following the Wars of the Roses , the status of the castle as a Marcher territory was revoked and its military significance began to decline . The Herbert family took over the property in 1550 , remodelling parts of the main range and carrying out construction work in the outer bailey , then occupied by Cardiff 's Shire Hall and other buildings . During the English Civil War Cardiff Castle was initially taken by a Parliamentary force , but was regained by Royalist supporters in 1645 . When fighting broke out again in 1648 , a Royalist army attacked Cardiff in a bid to regain the castle , leading to the Battle of St Fagans just outside the city . Cardiff Castle escaped potential destruction by Parliament after the war and was instead garrisoned , probably to protect against a possible Scottish invasion .   In the mid-18th century , Cardiff Castle passed into the hands of the Marquesses of Bute . John Stuart , the first Marquess , employed Capability Brown and Henry Holland to renovate the main range , turning it into a Georgian mansion , and to landscape the castle grounds , demolishing many of the older medieval buildings and walls . During the first half of the 19th century the family became extremely wealthy as a result of the growth of the coal industry in Glamorgan . The third Marquess , John Crichton-Stuart , used this wealth to back an extensive programme of renovations under William Burges . Burges remodelled the castle in a Gothic revival style , lavishing money and attention on the main range . The resulting interior designs are considered to be amongst `` the most magnificent that the gothic revival ever achieved '' . The grounds were re-landscaped and , following the discovery of the old Roman remains , reconstructed walls and a gatehouse in a Roman style were incorporated into the castle design . Extensive landscaped parks were built around the outside of the castle .   In the early 20th century the fourth Marquess inherited the castle and construction work continued into the 1920s . The Bute lands and commercial interests around Cardiff were sold off or nationalised until , by the time of the Second World War , little was left except the castle . During the war , extensive air raid shelters were built in the castle walls ; they could hold up to 1,800 people . When the Marquess died in 1947 , the castle was given to the city of Cardiff . Today the castle is run as a tourist attraction , with the grounds housing the `` Firing Line '' regimental museum and interpretation centre . The castle has also served as a venue for events , including musical performances and festivals .

neg: Bryn Bras Castle Bryn Bras Castle is a Grade II * listed country house located on the old road between Llanrug and Llanberis . Known locally as the Clegir road , in Caernarfon , Gwynedd .   It was built in a neo-Romanesque style between 1829 and 1835 on the site of an earlier structure by architect Thomas Hopper for Thomas Williams ( 1795 -- 1874 ) , an attorney at law .   It was bought in 1897 by Capt. Frank Stewart Barnard , High Sheriff of Caernarvonshire for 1903 -- 04 , who stayed at the castle until his death in 1917 , running it as a stud . It was later owned by the oil millionaire Duncan Elliot Alves ( 1870 -- 1947 ) , who was Mayor of Caernarvon for six years and High Sheriff of the county for 1931 -- 32 . After Alves ' death in 1938 the estate changed hands a number of times and much of the surrounding land was sold off .   The site of the first motorcycle Dragon rally in 1962 , the house has been converted into apartments .   The castle became Grade II * listed in 1968 , due to its fine interior and its part in the evolution of romantic , historicist architecture .

neg: Vaynol Vaynol -LSB- ˈveɪnɒl -RSB- or Y Faenol ( Welsh -LSB- ə ˈveɨnɔl -RSB- ) is a country estate dating from the Tudor period near Y Felinheli in Gwynedd , North Wales . It comprises 1000 acre of park , farmland , and gardens on the estate , with more than thirty listed buildings , surrounded by a wall which is 7 mi long . `` Y Faenol '' means `` the manor '' and is a mutated form of the Welsh word maenol .   The buildings on the estate include two Grade I listed halls : Faenol Old Hall , much of which dates from the Williams ' period of ownership , and Vaynol Hall , built in 1793 and extended during the 19th century . Once Vaynol Hall was built , Faenol Old Hall became a farm house and subsequently deteriorated ; in 2003 it appeared on the BBC 's Restoration programme , championed by Robert Hardy . In 2009 , the BBC revisited the project , and said that Faenol Hall was now `` in private ownership and has been restored '' . There is also a Grade I listed chapel and a very old barn on the site .   The Vaynol estate should not be confused with the neighbouring National Trust land called Glan Faenol .

neg: Moel y Gaer, Bodfari Moel y Gaer ( Welsh for `` bald hill of the fortress '' ) is an Iron Age hillfort at the northern end of the Clwydian Range , located on a summit overlooking the valley of the River Wheeler , near the village of Bodfari , Denbighshire , Wales , five miles north-east of Denbigh . The site is a scheduled monument , classified as a prehistoric defensive hillfort .   The hillfort is one of a chain of six hillforts in the Clwydian Range , which are , from north to south , Moel Hiraddug , Moel y Gaer Bodfari , Penycloddiau , Moel Arthur , Moel y Gaer Llanbedr , and Moel Fenlli . Offa 's Dyke Path passes along the foot of the hill . Moel y Gaer Bodfari is the lowest of these hillforts , being just 200 m above sea level . The hill on which it stands is surrounded by lower land and is strategically situated at the confluence of the River Wheeler and the Clwyd .   The fort at Moel y Gaer is one of the smallest of the chain of defensive works found along the Clwydians . It probably dates from the Iron Age , although there is no definitive evidence to establish the exact period during which it was occupied . It has a single entrance on its northern side and is defended by a steep slope on the eastern side of the hill .   Excavation started in 2011 and is ongoing as of 2016 . The area enclosed by the ramparts is about two hectares . Various anomalies have been targeted in the excavations , including what is possibly a group of pits and other features where the ground seems to have been dug out , as well as what seems to be a roundhouse on a levelled piece of land . Examination of the middle rampart began in 2013 , and it seems that there may have been several phases in its construction .

neg: List of English Heritage properties in Somerset English Heritage ( officially the English Heritage Trust ) is a registered charity that looks after the National Heritage Collection . English Heritage is steward of over 400 significant historical and archaeological sites . It has direct ownership over some historic sites and also liaises with private owners of sites that are managed under guardianship arrangements . In Somerset there are twelve sites , ranging from Neolithic sites such as Stanton Drew stone circles and Stoney Littleton Long Barrow through medieval castles and religious sites such as Farleigh Hungerford Castle and Cleeve Abbey to the most recent , Sir Bevil Grenville 's Monument , which was erected in 1720 .   Somerset consists of a non-metropolitan county , administered by Somerset County Council , which is divided into five districts , and two unitary authorities . The districts of Somerset are West Somerset , South Somerset , Taunton Deane , Mendip and Sedgemoor . North Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset historically came under Somerset County Council . In 1974 they became part of county of Avon , and in 1996 they became administratively independent when Avon was broken up into unitary authorities .   Many of the buildings included in the list are listed buildings or scheduled monuments . Listed status refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural , historical , or cultural significance ; Grade I structures are those considered to be `` buildings of exceptional interest '' . Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 . A scheduled monument is a `` nationally important '' archaeological site or historic building , given protection against unauthorised change . Scheduled monuments are specified in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 , which defines a monument as :

neg: Stokesay Castle Stokesay Castle is a fortified manor house in Stokesay , Shropshire , England . It was built in the late 13th century by Laurence of Ludlow , then the leading wool merchant in England , who intended it to form a secure private house and generate income as a commercial estate . Laurence 's descendants continued to own the castle until the 16th century , when it passed through various private owners . By the time of the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1641 , Stokesay was owned by William Craven , the first Earl of Craven and a supporter of King Charles I . After the Royalist war effort collapsed in 1645 , Parliamentary forces besieged the castle in June and quickly forced its garrison to surrender . Parliament ordered the property to be slighted , but only minor damage was done to the walls , allowing Stokesay to continue to be used as a house by the Baldwyn family until the end of the 17th century .   In the 18th century the Baldwyns rented the castle out for a range of agricultural and manufacturing purposes . It fell into disrepair , and the antiquarian John Britton noted during his visit in 1813 that it had been `` abandoned to neglect , and rapidly advancing to ruin '' . Restoration work was carried out in the 1830s and 1850s by William Craven , the second Earl of Craven . In 1869 the Craven estate , now heavily in debt , was sold to the wealthy industrialist John Derby Allcroft who paid for another round of extensive restoration during the 1870s . Both of these owners attempted to limit any alterations to the existing buildings during their conservation work , which was unusual for this period . The castle became a popular location for tourists and artists , and was formally opened to paying visitors in 1908 .   Allcroft 's descendants fell into financial difficulties during the early 20th century , however , and it became increasingly difficult for them to cover the costs of maintaining Stokesay . In 1986 Jewell Magnus-Allcroft finally agreed to place Stokesay Castle into the guardianship of English Heritage , and the castle was left to the organisation on her death in 1992 . English Heritage carried out extensive restoration of the castle in the late 1980s . In the 21st century , Stokesay Castle continues to be operated as a tourist attraction , receiving 39,218 visitors in 2010 .   Architecturally , Stokesay Castle is `` one of the best-preserved medieval fortified manor houses in England '' , according to historian Henry Summerson . The castle comprises a walled , moated enclosure , with an entrance way through a 17th-century timber and plaster gatehouse . Inside , the courtyard faces a stone hall and solar block , protected by two stone towers . The hall features a 13th-century wooden-beamed ceiling , and 17th-century carved figures ornament the gatehouse and the solar . The castle was never intended to be a serious military fortification , but its style was intended to echo the much larger castles being built by Edward I in North Wales . Originally designed as a prestigious , secure , comfortable home , the castle has changed very little since the 13th century , and is a rare , surviving example of a near complete set of medieval buildings . English Heritage has minimised the amount of interpretative material displayed at the property and kept the castle largely unfurnished .

neg: Cabra Castle Cabra Castle is the name given to two castles , one now ruined , the other now used as an impressive luxury hotel . They are near the hamlet of Cabra , which is very near Kingscourt ( Irish : Dún a ' Rí ) in south-east County Cavan , Ireland .   The current Cabra Castle ( located just off the R179 , known locally as the Carrickmacross Road ) was constructed in a mixture of the `` neo-Norman-style '' and the `` Gothick-style '' in the first decade of the 19th-century . Much of the exterior is in a form of what might be described as the `` neo-Norman-style '' , while the interior is mainly `` Gothick '' ( as opposed to the later neo-Gothic styles ) . This structure was originally called Cormey ( or Cormy ) Castle , after the local townland where it was built . It was constructed for the Foster family , a local `` Ascendancy '' family . However , the cost of building the new country house effectively bankrupted the Foster family . So , in 1813 , shortly after the new Cormey Castle had been completed , the Fosters sold their new country house to their much wealthier neighbours , the Pratt dynasty , who were another local ` Ascendancy ' family .   The aristocratic Pratt family lived just across the Carrickmacross Road at the original Cabra House ( also sometimes known as Cabra Castle ) on the Cabra Estate , the family 's huge country estate . The Pratt family had owned the Cabra Estate since 1699 . In 1813 , Colonel Joseph Pratt added the new Cormey Castle and much of the Fosters ' Cormey Estate to his own Cabra Estate . Cormey Castle replaced the original Cabra House as the chief `` seat '' of the Pratt dynasty in County Cavan . Around 1820 , the Pratt family renamed Cormey Castle as Cabra Castle , the name it retains to this day .   The ruins of the original Cabra House , or Cabra Castle , can be seen on a slight height near the Wishing Well in what is now Dún a ' Rí Forest Park , formerly part of the Cabra Estate . The forest park is now owned by Coillte , the Irish Government 's forestry company .   Major Mervyn Pratt owned Cabra Castle and the Cabra Estate from 1927 until his death in December 1950 . The Major , however , mainly lived at Enniscoe , another country estate that the Pratt family had owned since the 1860s near Crossmolina in County Mayo . He was succeeded by his nephew , Tan Sri Dr. Mervyn Sheppard , a long-serving civil servant with the British Colonial Service in Malaya , who was the last member of the Pratt dynasty to own Cabra Castle . Due to the mounting costs of running the castle and running what remained of the Cabra Estate , he sold the country house to a local Catholic family , the Brennans , in 1964 . The Brennan family turned the castle into a hotel , which it remained up until they sold it in 1986 to a Mr. Mansour , a senior politician and businessman from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in the U.A.E. Mansour closed the hotel with the intention of turning Cabra Castle back into a private country house once more . However , he never actually got round to restoring the castle as a private residence or restoring it to its former glory .   In 1991 , Mansour sold Cabra Castle to the Corscadden family , who run a number of hotels . They restored the castle and turned it into a luxury four-star hotel , reopening it as such in the early 1990s . It continues to be owned by the Corscadden family , and the castle remains a luxury hotel . The castle is very close to County Cavan 's border with both County Monaghan and , in particular , County Meath . About a hundred acres of land now makes up the surrounding demesne ( or park ) of Cabra Castle .

neg: Crown dependencies The Crown dependencies are the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea , and the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel . They are independently administered jurisdictions , and do not form part of either the United Kingdom or the British Overseas Territories . They are self-governing possessions of the Crown ( defined uniquely in each jurisdiction ) . Internationally , the dependencies are considered `` territories for which the United Kingdom is responsible '' , rather than sovereign states . As a result , they are not member states of the Commonwealth of Nations . However , they do have relationships with the Commonwealth , the European Union , and other international organisations , and are members of the British -- Irish Council . They have their own teams in the Commonwealth Games . They are not part of the European Union ( EU ) , although they are within the EU 's customs area .   As the Crown dependencies are not sovereign states , the power to pass legislation affecting the islands ultimately rests with the government of the United Kingdom . However they each have their own legislative assemblies , with the power to legislate on many local matters with the assent of the Crown ( Privy Council , or in the case of the Isle of Man in certain circumstances the Lieutenant-Governor ) . In each case , the head of government is referred to as the Chief Minister .

neg: Gwydir Forest Gwydir Forest , also spelled Gwydyr , is located in Conwy county borough and the Snowdonia National Park in Wales . It takes its name from the ancient Gwydir Estate , established by the John Wynn family of Gwydir Castle , which owned this area .   The Forestry Commission uses the alternative spelling ( i.e. Gwydyr Forest , Coedwig Gwydyr ) . Certainly as early as 1536 , Leland wrote : `` Gwydir lieth two bowshots above the River Conwy . It is a pretty place . ''

neg: Maelienydd Maelienydd , sometimes spelt Maeliennydd , was a cantref and lordship in east central Wales covering the area from the River Teme to Radnor Forest and the area around Llandrindod Wells . The area , which is mainly upland , is now in Powys . During the Middle Ages it was part of the region known as Rhwng Gwy a Hafren , or `` Between the Wye and the Severn '' .   Originally an independent kingdom , Maelienydd became an area of great strategic importance after the Norman conquest of England , due to its position . It appears to have come under Norman control before 1093 , but during the 12th century became a battleground between the Welsh Princes of the area , notably Cadwallon ap Madog ap Idnerth ab Elystan Glodrydd , and the Mortimer family . In 1179 Prince Cadwallon was killed by the retainers of Roger Mortimer when he was returning from the court of king Henry II of England . Mortimer was imprisoned by the king for this and Maelienydd was inherited by Cadwallon 's son , Maelgwn ap Cadwallon , not to be confused in any way with Maelgwn Gwynedd , who lived centuries before . On Roger Mortimer 's release from prison he seized much of the lordship , though Maelgwn was later able to recover it with the help of Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth . In March 1188 , Gerald of Wales records the visit to Maelgwn 's castle of Crug Eryr , during Gerald 's journey through Wales with the Archbishop of Canterbury , who was raising an army for the crusades ; Maelgwn ` took the cross ' just as his cousin Einion o ' r Porth , Prince of Elfael had done at Radnor Castle just a few days earlier , along with Einion 's father in law , Rhys ap Gruffudd ( `` The Lord Rhys '' ) , Prince of Deheubarth . After Rhys ' death the Mortimers again took possession .   The struggle for the rule of Maelienydd continued during the 13th century , involving the kings of England and Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Gwynedd . A number of castles were built here , notably Cefnllys Castle and Cymaron Castle . One of the main versions of Welsh law , the Cyfnerth Redaction , is thought to originate from Maelienydd when it was in the sphere of influence of Rhys ap Gruffudd in the second half of the 12th century .   Maelienydd was one of the cantrefs brought together to form Radnorshire . The name survives for the general area .

neg: Politics of Wales Politics in Wales forms a distinctive polity in the wider politics of the United Kingdom , with Wales as one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom ( UK ) .   Constitutionally , the United Kingdom is de jure a unitary state with one sovereign parliament and government . However , under a system of devolution ( or home rule ) adopted in the late 1990s three of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom , Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland , voted for limited self-government , subject to the ability of the UK Parliament in Westminster , nominally at will , to amend , change , broaden or abolish the national governmental systems . As such the National Assembly for Wales ( Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru ) is not de jure sovereign .   Executive power in the United Kingdom is vested in the Queen-in-Council , while legislative power is vested in the Queen-in-Parliament ( the Crown and the Parliament of the United Kingdom at Westminster in London ) .

neg: The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy `` The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy '' is an article published in the premiere issue of Scanlan 's Monthly in March 1970 , written by Hunter S. Thompson .   The subject of the article is Jean-Claude Killy , the alpine skiing champion who , in the 1968 Winter Olympics , became the second alpine skier ever to win three gold medals in a single olympic games . By the time of the article Killy , then 26 , was retired from skiing and had embarked on the next phase of his career -- endorsements .   Thompson 's article follows Killy around the United States during his marketing tour for the Chevrolet automotive company . As he attends automotive shows , holds press conferences , and makes appearances for television ( all in conjunction with fellow Chevrolet spokesman , O.J. Simpson ) Thompson chronicles the newly flush world of celebrity sports endorsements . Though endorsement by a sports figure was not an entirely new concept , the world-wide magnitude of Killy 's stardom made his Chevrolet contract something of a fascination for Thompson .   The article 's focus on the relative depths of the new pitch-man status obtained by Killy so shortly after the incredible heights he had achieved develops through acerbic descriptions of the settings Killy finds himself in , the automotive executives that profit by him , and the fans and onlookers who make him such a valuable spokesman . Through it all , Killy 's focus on his own enormous profit is a source of worry to Thompson . The trend he sees developing is one of larger-than-life stars -- athletes of the highest physical standards who have achieved feats unimaginable by normal people -- demeaning themselves and their accomplishments by agreeing to shill for a few extra dollars . An enormous sports fan himself , Thompson is distraught by this turn of events and wonders that Killy was never quite sure `` why I was embarrassed for him in those scenes . ''   Thompson compares Killy to F. Scott Fitzgerald 's Gatsby : although , unlike that character , Killy 's dollars are earned honestly , the author concludes while watching Killy 's selling of himself that `` nothing in his narrow , high-powered experience can allow him to understand how I can watch his act and say that it looks , to me , like a very hard dollar -- maybe the hardest . ''   The article was later included in Thompson 's collection The Great Shark Hunt ( 1979 ) .

neg: A Night at the Met A Night at the Met is the third official album release by Robin Williams on August 9 , 1986 . It features segments recorded live at Metropolitan Opera House in New York City .

neg: Fox hunting Fox hunting is an activity involving the tracking , chase and , if caught , the killing of a fox , traditionally a red fox , by trained foxhounds or other scent hounds , and a group of unarmed followers led by a `` master of foxhounds '' ( `` master of hounds '' ) , who follow the hounds on foot or on horseback .   Fox hunting with hounds , as a formalised activity , originated in England in the sixteenth century , in a form very similar to that practised until 2005 , when the traditional form was made unlawful in England and Wales . A ban on hunting in Scotland had been passed in 2002 , but it continues to be within the law in Northern Ireland and several other countries , including : Australia , Canada , France , Ireland , Italy , and the United States . In Australia , the term also refers to the hunting of foxes with firearms , similar to deer hunting or spotlighting . In much of the world , hunting in general is understood to relate to any game animals or weapons ( e.g. , deer hunting with bow and arrow ) ; in Britain and Ireland , `` hunting '' without qualification implies fox hunting ( or other forms of hunting with hounds -- beagling , drag hunting , hunting the clean boot , mink hunting , or stag hunting ) , as described here .   This sport is controversial , particularly in the UK , where its traditional form was banned in Scotland in 2002 , and in England and Wales in November 2004 ( law enforced from February 2005 ) , although certain modified forms of hunting foxes with hounds are still within the law , and shooting foxes as vermin also remains lawful .   Proponents of fox hunting view it as an important part of rural culture , and useful for reasons of conservation and pest control , while opponents argue that it is cruel and unnecessary .

neg: Bop Gun (Homicide: Life on the Street) `` Bop Gun '' is the second season premiere of the American police drama television series Homicide : Life on the Street , and the tenth overall episode of the series . It originally aired on NBC in the United States on January 6 , 1994 . In the episode , the Baltimore homicide unit investigates the shooting death of the wife of a tourist , played by guest star Robin Williams .   The episode was written by David Mills and David Simon based on a story by executive producer Tom Fontana , and directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal . In response to network feedback and poor ratings from the first season , `` Bop Gun '' marked several changes in the series , including a less bleak visual style and a greater focus on one plot , rather than multiple subplots . It was also the first episode to focus primarily on a homicide victim , rather than on the detectives . Simon felt the dialogue was realistic , especially that of the dark humor employed by detectives as a coping mechanism for dealing with the horrors of the job .   Williams previously worked with Homicide executive producer Barry Levinson on the films Good Morning , Vietnam ( 1987 ) and Toys ( 1992 ) . This led to speculation that Williams took the role on `` Bop Gun '' as a favor to Levinson , but the actor insisted it was out of admiration for the series itself . A young Jake Gyllenhaal , the son of the episode 's director , makes an appearance as Williams ' son . The episode was the first to feature Chris Tergesen as music coordinator , which resulted in the use of more songs than previous episodes , including `` Killer '' by Seal and `` Feels Like Rain '' by Buddy Guy .   `` Bop Gun '' was seen by 16.3 million viewers , one of the highest Nielsen ratings of the week , thanks in large part due to interest in Williams ' appearance . The episode received generally positive reviews , with several particularly complimenting the dramatic performance by Williams . `` Bop Gun '' won a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Screenplay of an Episodic Drama . Williams also received an Emmy Award nomination for Guest Actor in a Drama Series . The episode , along with the rest of the first and second seasons of Homicide : Life on the Street was released on DVD in the United States on May 27 , 2003 .
