That's exactly the one Cambrian.     Well done as it wasn't an easy one      &well&

I had a walk there the other day and it was only because I altered my route that I came across those two places.    The old Dyserth Castle built by Henry III has all gone after being quarried away.

It's in North Wales and is part of a very long walking path.

A very wild guess that it's on the Pilgrims Way but not sure of the river.    Is it the River Clwyd by St Asaph?

No, sorry Hugo, it's further away from us than that and it's part of a much longer walk.

Steve,  Hollins' second post said N Wales so I'm presuming that she's been on the Wales Coastal Path somewhere.     

If it wasn't for lockdown then I would have thought that it's near some nice restaurant Like Dylan's in Criccieth but I'm just wild guessing at the Afon Dwyfor but am not convinced as those gates look very much like a connection with a Church or Abbey

Thanks, I missed that, and I agree it does look like a private bridge, or a very fancy cattle gate.

It is on the Welsh coast path. It's not a private bridge. The river flows out to a sizeable tidal estuary. In this photo you can see a small station and a wharf with the same name as a place very near to us.

At last I've found it on the Afon Artro.     Hope that you enjoyed your visit to that beautiful part of North Wales
