I visited a castle in Wales today. Which one is it?

[Barbiroli]

Harlech

[Hugo]

Never been there before but with those mountains in the background is it Criccieth Castle?


On reflection I think that Barbiroli is correct and it must be Cadair Idris in the background.

[hollins]

Right first time Hugo. It is Criccieth Castle. What a beautiful day it was there today.
Well done.

[Hugo]

I've never been to the Castle but you get a splendid view of it on the coast road from Porthmadog.   Must remember to stop and have a look at it next time I go past especially  now that I have a free Cadw pass.     

[martin]

Hugo, I thought CADW had stopped issuing the free passes.  We both got one a few years ago, (over 60), and they are valid until February 2014, but I think we were among the last ones to get them before applications were closed. 

[Hugo]

Mine came in the post a week before they stopped issuing them and is valid until 31st Jan 2014 so I'll have to get my money's woth before it expires!     

[hollins]

I paid my £3.20 but it was worth it for the view!

[Yorkie]

How much do you think mine cost?

[Merddin Emrys]

A pony?

[Yorkie]

absolutely nuffin' mate - absolutely nuffin'!    Freebie - and wurf every penny!    Z**

[hollins]

Where in Wales will you find this memorial and whose life does it commemorate?

[Yorkie]

Nelson by Britannia Bridge, Menai Straits.

[hollins]

No, sorry.

[Yorkie]

No, sorry.

Just my usual wild first guess!  I'll do some delving now!
