He wasn't Yorkie,  I just came across him after I had  finished a walk that I hadn't previously done before.

OK so he is at either Land's End or John 'o Groats!    $walesflag$

Seriously though, I will make a tentative stab at Gypsy Wood Park, Caernarfon.   Got to start somewhere!    ;)

Here are some more photos that may help,  It isn't in Gypsy Wood Park but it is in a sea marsh so my O/S map tells me.     $walesflag$

Access to this land on the sea marsh is not restricted but the marsh warden is never far away.

                      After your two clues mentioning the "marsh warden" is it near the old Marsh Warden pub in Rhuddlan (now closed and semi-derelict)? I have walked up to Rhuddlan on the cycle track and back down the other side of the Clwyd fairly recently alongside the sea-marsh area but I didn't see anything like those. I know there is also some sort of a bird sanctuary/wildlife area on the other side of the road from the Marsh Warden on the site of the old Rhuddlan railway station as well so perhaps it is in there?

I couldn't throw you of the scent Gwynant, too many clues I think.         &well&

It's the nature reserve across the road to the closed Marsh Warden Pub.  The reserve is on the land called Morfa Rhuddlan and as you know in English is called Rhuddlan Sea Marsh.
I've attached a photo of the old Station and the lines of it run through the reserve.

Here is a difficult one - I think so anyway!   Where will you find these little piles of stones all carefully arranged by the public?

Sorry Mike, not this time.  The piles of small stones are maximum a couple of feet high

Sorry to say, the descrition is correct but the location is some miles (or kilometres ) out.  The clue should have given you an early warning that I was being a bit devious.  It's on the radar!    :D
