Hugo,

The well seems to be Ffynnon Elan at Dolwyddelan and the church is the old 16thC Anglican church in the village which is dedicated to St Gwyddelan.  There is another church on the A470, St Elizabeth's, dating from 1884, but that closed a few years ago and was converted to residential use.

Well Done Cambrian, that's spot on           &well&     It's Dolwyddelan on the A470

The Ffynnon Sant Gwyddelan or Elen's Well is just above a former Chapel and the Church of St Gwyddelan was closed as expected when we called there yesterday

Well done Steve and Bri as you are both correct.        &well&          &well&


The car park is called Tyddyn Gwladys and is a mile and a half uphill on the opposite side of the road to that Black Building.    We had a walk yesterday to two very spectacular waterfalls about another mile uphill from the Tyddyn Gwladys car park.

Thanks for trying Steve.    I didn't think that it would be that hard but when I checked it now the pub that was near the pheasant has changed it's name.       :-[

I'll put some more photos on here to help and another clue is that the river starts its life in Conwy County
