Another walk, but where would you be if you saw this property in N Wales?           $walesflag$

It's a 19th Century upland farmhouse set in a small valley.        $walesflag$

Inside the older building was a large fireplace

The farm must have been in a wide valley    $walesflag$

This sign is quite near to the building

Here is a better look at that fireplace in the old building near the farm house

It's nice to see that they are looking after our heritage so well

Yes I was Nemesis, well done      &well&

I was there yesterday and had a quick look around the Greenfield Valley Heritage Centre.    The farm is Cwm Lydan   (wide valley) and I thought that Gwynant would have got that.

It's a very interesting place to visit and not too strenuous either.

We went there a few years back, and also found it interesting. Up the hill, where we parked, were the remains of the works for drawing copper for the bottoms of boats. There were also many different water birds on the lakes.

It is a fascinating place to visit and the walk is under 3 miles in total, but there is so much to see once you are there.    I would recommend it to any one who has never been there before and the old railway track is an easy walk up to Holywell.

Probably miles off but is it the Watchtower near the brickworks and Cemaes Bay on Anglesey ?

A good guess but it's not a watchtower and it isn't on Anglesey either.     

Just slightly more of it.

This must be a better clue.
