Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

You are welcome Jack,  Tellytubby who knows a lot about the area was telling me that the lake was shallow and in the winter many years ago the ice would be collected and put into an "ice house" where it would be stored for the landowner's main house.
We didn't know  where the ice house was though.   That boathouse looked old  but I wouldn't like to speculate on whether that could have been the ice house

[rhuddlan]

I think you will find the ice  house was and possibly still is at Mostyn Hall. The lake was used for testing duk w vehicles in WW2  I  think.

[Hugo]

Thanks Rhuddlan, the ice house is a listed building and is at Mostyn Hall.   I couldn't see any photo but copied this instead:-

Exterior
Circular red brick ice-house approx 6m diameter, with domed roof which is slightly truncated and rendered. Round-arched entrance facing SE and leading to a short passage. The entrance may have been gabled originally, but some of the brickwork is missing.

PS      Shouldn't you be lapping up the Sun and just relaxing instead of looking at your computer?   

[Hugo]

Where would you see this and what is the name of this building?                              

[hollins]

Is it Denbigh castle?

[Hugo]

That's a goot try Hollins and it is a castle, but it isn't Denbigh Castle.         

[Hugo]

        I meant to say that it was a good try not goot, so no hidden clue there.    But where is it?       

[SteveH]

Could it be Gwrych Castle landscape looks similar.

[Hugo]

Perhaps another photo may help to identify the castle?                                             



Nice try Steve but it's not Gwrych Castle

[Fester]

Dolwydden?

[Hugo]

Nice try Fester but it's not Dolwyddelen

[Hugo]

Another photo of a tower in this castle which may help.

[Gwynant]

                   Castell-y-Bare?

[Hugo]

Well done Gwynant,           

 I thought that you might get it.    I didn't crop the photo to take out bird rock or to give it it's proper name Craig Yr Aderyn.
Apparently that rock is 12 miles inland and Cormorants nest there.

We followed part of the route seen on  Weatherman Walking and it was a rather special  walk.

[Fester]

Nice try Fester but it's not Dolwyddelen

I didn't even get the name right anyway!
