A good try Steve but it's not the Afon Lledr

This river although it starts in the County of Conwy is a tributary of another river that flows out in another county in N Wales

Last Clue

This tributary river gives its name to the place it passes through and then flows under the A55  before joining on to the main river
That must help a bit?

Just a guess Hugo is it the Afon Elwy or Aled ? I do not recognise the church is it Rhuddlan

Well done Robbie it is the Afon Elwy            &well&

The river gives its name to Llanelwy  or  St Asaph.
It flows through Llanfair T H  and just north of the A55  joins the main river which is the Clwyd and that eventually flows into the sea in Rhyl

With a name like Peter Scott, you would expect better   :-[

Sorry Robbie but I forgot to mention the Church in my last post.

It's the Church of St Mary's in Cefn Meiriadog, a small village about 2 miles from St Asaph and the River Elwy flows near there

The sculpture of the Pheasant was also meant to be a clue because I'm sure that the pub at the bottom of St Asaph hill was once called the pheasant something but is now called The Bridge

You have indeed Hollins and you'll remember the River Elwy from the time you had your Sunday lunch in Llanfair T H       ;D

You may have seen this on a walk but where is it?

I'm not sure what it is Steve, it's not a burial mound but may have something to do with water.

There was certainly a lot of it today when we had a walk, but where were we?       $walesflag$

A couple more photos that may help if anyone has done the walk before
