The Waking the Dragon landmark at Chirk Park would include a glass tower topped by a red dragon in bronze.

He has launched a public fundraising campaign to finance the building costs, pledging every donor's name would be recorded on the site.

The plans include a 41.5m tower topped by a Welsh red dragon which itself would be 23.5m high and have a wingspan of 57m.

I read somewhere, it may have been here, that there are more castles per square mile in Wales than in any other country. I was born in Wales and there are a lot of them, for sure.

The Welsh border country is one of those areas that's almost immune from property value slumps too. That tells you something about what sort of people live around there, I think.

The red dragon is in the Welsh flag and this might just be an tourist attraction, but nowadays I do not believe in innocent coincidences anymore.
