I look out this morning to the sun on the hills. For years my view of these hills was from the other side, the East. The hills are the Clwydian Range, running from Llangollen in the South up to the sea on the North coast of Wales. Clwyd (pronounced Cloo-id) means gate in Welsh and the range is the natural gateway between England and Wales, although for many centuries Wales has included Flintshire, to the East of the range as well. The hills are topped by a number of Bronze and Iron Age hillforts so my sense of them as a geographical barrier between England and Wales is perhaps an ancient one. Certainly these days and for a very long time back into history those who live to the East of them would consider themselves just as Welsh as those who live to the West.
