Nope.

It is out of this area but in North Wales.

I'll try this then:

Dog Tongs dated to 1815 from St. Bueno's church – these were used to catch unruly dogs and expel them from the building.

So it must be St Buenos Church, Clynnog Fawr on the Llyn Peninsular!

What was the name of this horse and who was its owner?  When it was alive, of course!

Well done - didn't last long did it?   Pushed old Nap once to many times!   ZXZ

I always enjoy looking at the quizzes but I'm absolutely useless at them.  On the odd occasion when I do know the answer, someone else has got there before me.  I got quite excited when I saw Bri Robert's question at the top of this page  - but I was a day too late!   :(

Well done again.  It is just outside tithe town of Monchique on the road to Foia which at 902 metres is the highest part of the Algarve.  Unfortunately spoilt by the mast and arrays of the monitoring equipment to detect foreign or other aircraft etc.  I must find something a little more difficult for my next attempt to bet you all.    ZXZ
