Cheers, Hugo.  At a guess and trying to take a straight line to the sea, it would probably  wind up about the best part of mile away so should be safe for a long while (and we are a couple of miles into Cromer). Still, you see reports of large falls on the coast, pictures of places becoming unsafe after falls and even people having to abandon (sometimes forcibly) what probably (Although much closer) looked safe when purchased….  There was this one though!

That's a good guess Steve and I can see why you thought that it was Gwrych Castle

Sorry but it's not correct, it's easy but not that easy      ;D

It's not Bodelwyddan Castle either and it's not a castle, although it is described as a castle styled mansion and it's not in Conwy County if that helps a bit

Not sneaky enough to beat you Steve so very well done.

It is Plas Gwynfryn in Llanystumdwy

Thank you, a very lucky find, I had glanced at the headline this morning, and did not take much notice, it was only by chance looking through the Daily Post site later, I spotted the picture,............ it would be expensive but a great project.

We saw it from a distance when we had a walk in Llanystumdwy but there were notices saying that it was private land so we didn't attempt to get there.  I'm sorry now because it would have been good to take photos   of it as it looks very impressive

  Is it on the western Bank of that Avon Lledr in the meadows between the old  salmon fishing ladder and the confluence of the Avon Conwy.

Well done Gwynant that's the one.

It's actually between the old Salmon ladders and Lledr Hall in Pont Y Pant,   We were there on Wednesday doing a walk up stream from Gethin's Bridge to Dolwyddelan.
I've had trouble posting my photos from the walk so I downsized the hut to test it on the forum
