Well done Cambrian, spot on.           

We had a walk in the area yesterday and then went and had a look at the gardens there.

It's Plas Tan Y Bwlch in Maentwrog - the Snowdonia National Park Study Centre.

Where in the UK would you find this splendid building?

Isn’t it the corner of the Grosvenor shopping area in Chester?

Looks like Chester, but I think it is King Street in Manchester.

Lunch out today.
Any guesses as to where we might have been?

Well done DaveR.
We had a super lunch there yesterday. What a lot of money has been spent on the place with gorgeous terraces for this nice weather and great views from them.

It looks very impressive, I remember having a look around when it was empty - almost completely derelict then.

That's quite an improvement since I last saw the place, I'm pleased that the lunch was good for you.

Yes. some friends invited us. We had not been before so I looked on google street view to check where it was and the photo on there was of it in a derelict state which was a bit worrying.
Then I noticed the google photo was October 2009. When did you take your photos Hugo?
I would recommend it. Lovely food and good service with a great view. There is even a lift to take you to the upper terrace.
