St Agnes Cemetery, Conwy by the look of the undergrowth!

Nice try Yorkie but it's not in Conwy.   It's off the beaten track so I'll accept the area eg city,town, village etc  rather than the precise location.    $walesflag$

It has to be a guess, and assuming that it is North Wales I will be so bold as to suggest Rhuddlan, one of the first, if not the first Norman Castle to be built in Wales.

That's a good guess but it's not Rhuddlan. It is in N Wales but the castle is even earlier than Rhuddlan castle.

Nice try Hollins but it's not correct.   This faithful river is only a trickle here?         $walesflag$ $welsh$

I can now only have a go at Brecon or Tenby !   Although the Windsor connection could suggest another!

Is there such a place as Dyserth Castle?

Harlech, Brecon and Tenby are incorrect I'm afraid.
It's in N Wales and the location is not known because of it's Norman Castle but is better known for other things?
The Windsor connection could help perhaps or even the faithful river which is recorded in the Doomsday Book.      $walesflag$
Perhaps I'm going soft but here's another clue as it's only easy if you know the area.     Edward I  didn't build this castle, his Dad did!

I posted this without seeing Jack's posting as it takes me so long to type!!

Dyserth it is.  Well done Jack as this was quite hard.     &well&

Dyserth Castle was built by Henry III ( Edward I 's father)  it didn't last long and was destroyed by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd in 1263 and there is little left of it as it has been destroyed by the quarry.
There's a nice walk  Jack from Meliden to Gwaenysgor and returning down along the Afon Ffyddion ( Ffydd = faithful  $walesflag$ )
to come out by Dyserth Waterfall.
If it's any consolation to anyone, I lived in Dyserth for about 7 years and didn't know that there was a Norman Castle there.   :-[

Thanks Hugo, I used my initiative/cheated.  I recognised the photos from the walking thread and trawled through twenty pages of that thread to find out where you had taken them!!  :laugh:

You little Devil Jack!    I was going to do another question on that same walk but I'm stumped now.     :(

Yorkie's good on quizzes and he gave me some tips on posing questions especially if I use photos with them.  I'll have to think of something harder next time. 

Thanks for the info about that spooky place in Trearddur Bay, It's time that that place had a face lift because that is one super location for a property

I don't suppose this one will last very long but - where and what is this?
