Only thanks to Google   $good$ 
 You are quite right when you've said in the past that you can learn a lot by Googling because my first thoughts were that it was in Portugal.

Well done Norman, that was quick!
I'm glad I wasn't in this vehicle/boat when it sank in the dock yesterday.

They got a real DUKW ing!   Not a pleasant experience, makes one wonder where was the 'elf and safety?   Probably didn't explain any emergency action to the punters so chaos would have been the order of the day.   I don't know if life jackets were worn but I think they should have been issued and used for the duration of the trip.   :(

I'm sure I remember the Queen having a ride on it on her last visit.

I think it has sunk previously too.  Philip Oliver an actor who played Tinhead in Brookside was involved with another guy and featured in a TV programme called Four in a bed when they had a boat in Albert Dock doing a B & B business there.  The DUCW played a part in the programme.

                     I thought that as well at first Yorkie, but surely that is in the 3 towns area. Is it the footbridge over the river overlooking the waterfalls behind the Old Woollen Mills in Trefriw?

Yes the A55 bridge is much wider. I think Trefriw seems likely.

It's not that one Gwynant but as you are so near I'll give you that one.   It's the bridge over the river across the road and in front of the Old Woolen Mills in Trefriw.
