                Right area, wrong pub, Hugo. When I checked if it could be identified on Google Streetmaps the mural had not been painted on at that time. It can be seen from the the carriage window when approaching Blaenau on the railway.

Wild guess...Cath y Dragon...Blaenau Ffestiniog

        Apologies Steve, I missed your post when I was reading Hugo's guess, not the Cath-y-Dragon. The pub has a surprisingly English name for almost totally Welsh-speaking area.

                 Well done SDQ, it is the King's Head (pic enclosed), we passed it walking down Glan-y-Pwll Road on the way down to Tan-y-Grisiau on Thursday. I didn't even know it was there, as it's a bit off the beaten track. I didn't discover the meaning behind the mural which, as SteveH rightly observed, is depicting a cat and a dragon.

No sorry. It isn't part of a castle.

Is it a grand entrance/gateway ?   or a church?   or chimneys ?

I wish I could think up clever clues like Hugo does but this will have to do for a start. It is very close to the Three Towns and the name of the building has a "way with words."
