It's not a castle but it is over 300 years old.

I'll try The Goblin Tower, Denbigh.

Sorry Dave and Yorkie but neither is correct.

You can see it from Moelfre and allegedly from the Tree Towns area too.       &shake&

There are two in the Three Towns but what are they and where is the one I was in today?

If you look out of the other door opposite then Moelfre is just a few miles behind you.

No guesses today? 

Then this will give you the link to the Windmill Hill.         $walesflag$

Sorry Tosh but Granny's Armchair in Llanrhos is only a link or a clue to the answer.     &shake&


Where was I when I took the first photo and what is the building?     

 Another clue is that it wasn't on the Vadre or in the Three Towns area.

                     The Tower on Tower Hill, Abergele? There is a Moelfre  slightly further inland.

Well done Gwynant, I threw a red herring and an English to Welsh clue in but it didn't fool you.        &well&

On my OS map the land is called  Gallt y Felin Wynt ( The Windmill Hill)     It's a Watch Tower built in the 1600's to communicate with other Watch Towers.  To the west was the Church Tower at Llandrillo Yn Rhos and to the west again with the Watch Tower on the Bryniau at Llanrhos ( better known as Granny's Armchair)
I was hoping the red herring of Moelfre may have led people to Anglesey and not to Abergele.

              Hugo, I must confess that I had been looking at the ruined church near Din Llugwy by Moelfre (Ynys Mon), and I was looking again at your picture and trying to link "Bryn Gwynt" etc. and other Welsh translations and Mrs. Gwynant, (who is a native of Abergele), walked past behind me and said "that's Tower Hill", and also confirmed the existence of the other Moelfre at the same time! So I cannot take the credit as I am an honourable man (and also she is still standing behind me!)

Fortunately I got the Morlfre link as we have friends there but just couldn't find the right tower!   Good one!

One point each to Mr & Mrs Gwynant.

Well done Yorkie, I tried to throw you off the scent but you didn't take the bait!     $good$
