Sorry H - not Newborough, but the area is washed regularly by the sea.

The background is throwing me a bit.  It looks like the Rivals but I'll have another guess at Red Wharf Bay Anglesey.

Another No I'm afraid.  I've had a look on Google Maps but as I did not take the photograph I am not sure of exact direction of the shot so cannot help with a clue to the names of the hills. 

Another wreck nearby the first - hope this helps.

I've walked along the whole coastline of Anglesey and the only place I've seen two wrecks together like that is the stretch of sand between Llanddona,Pentraeth and they are on Red Wharf Bay.
The background on the 1st photo I thought looked like the Rivals by Trefor on the Lleyn Peninsula, but I'm not so sure with the second one.

Some, of course, get covered by the tide and are not always visible.  Here's a major clue, they are both well within 20 miles from Llandudno as the crow flies, and one is next to a concrete (?) pier.  Did I say Anglesey?

20 miles as the crow flies would put you in the Bangor area.  I seem to remember some wrecks between Port Penrhyn and Dickies boat yard in Bangor.
Would they be the ones?

That's another good try Hugo but sad to say it's not the right area.  Here's a VERY cryptic clue - Think of furniture.!    ;D

You're a canny Yorkshire man, you've not given much away!    :(
It's not east of Llandudno, nor in Gwynedd either but the cryptic clue of furniture  ?{}?
The only thing that comes to mind is Bwrdd Arthur (Arthur's Table) but that's near Llanddona &  Red Wharf Bay.
 Is it on Anglesey?
I'll keep on guessing even if it takes me until next year.  ;)

I've already said that it is not Anglesey.  It's certainly on the mainland.  Another clue  - it is NOT Gwynedd.


Arthur's Table is interesting 'cos Arthur's Seat is in Edinburgh.  Long way to pull your chair up to eat though!

For the New Year I am feeling generous. . . . .

Table is a good clue but not Arthur's, just have to put it in the right place.
Longditudinal thinking is required regarding the proximity of (or is that to) Llandudno.
The concrete Pier is more like a small jetty and is in the picture above the wreck.
All is visible from Google Maps, Satelite View.
The Devil and a Lion around the Table should give you a good Signal.

I'm back in the land of the living after last night but I'm still working on this.  Last night I was thinking to myself that I've walked along all the coast within 20 miles of here and never seen these boats  ??? but then I thought Yorkie's a crafty old sod does he mean the Llandudno in South Africa.  The picture shows blue skies and a plateau shaped mountain, could that possibly be Table mountain at Cape Town
I'm going to look on Google to check. ?{}?

Definitely Cape Town S Africa and lovely shot of the mountain that I originally thought was the Rivals D)

I'm afraid that I can't locate this place but will have a final pop and hedge my bets by saying Table beach or Sunset Beach.   ???

Thanks Yorkie, I didn't realise Llandudno SA   was as close to Cape Town until I started to Google the place.
