Hi H, Nice to hear from you, trust all is well ?   $good$

It took a bit of searching.............King Henry VII - Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
                                                 King Henry VII - Born Henry Tudor, in Pembroke Castle. He was the first Welshman to sit on the English Throne, & the Last King to win the English Throne in battle. The sculpture is located on the Mill Bridge, Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, South Wales

Well done Steve. yes all well thanks.
We stayed a few days in a holiday house with this amazing view of the castle from it, (see 3rd photo). The house was also directly on the coast path so did some lovely walks too.

I'm getting old Hugo. I guessed Beddgelert for the Henry VII statue and then realised the question had been answered on the next page, so I tried to delete my feeble answer and no matter how hard I tried, I had to leave the B. So the B is for  $booboo$

It's on the roadside so you can't miss it but which road?

No it's not that one Bri, it's further afield and to the east of the Three Towns
Although there is a date of 1988 on the guttering  but it's a  particularly fine late mediaeval house substantially enlarged in the C16 and C17 which has been the subject of extensive recent careful restoration, with full preservation of its historic and architectural character

No posh breaks for me Steve, certainly not at the present moment but perhaps next year.

You're on the right track with the valley           $walesflag$

Valley +  dyffryn     $walesflag$      so where is this Grade II listed building that looks over the Vale?
