Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

Very good Fester but which Cromlech was it?

[Gwynant]

                 The mountain in the background looks like Moel Siabod, with the Snowdon Horseshoe and the Glyders off to the right, makes me think it is in the Capel Garmon area. That, and the fact that you visited a Neolithic Burial Chamber up there on a recent walk, (and Fester's recent guess) could be the view from inside it.

[Hugo]

Correct and very  well thought out Gwynant, it was taken from inside the burial chamber at Capel Garmon.   Well done to Fester too.
The walk was called " The tomb with a view" and it is quite appropriate.

[Yorkie]

I'm sure this will be guessed very quickly.
What and where is this piece of "stuff", and what is its claim to fame?

[Jack]

How about the ancient yew tree in Llangernyw - reputed to be 4000 years old?

[Yorkie]

How about the ancient yew tree in Llangernyw - reputed to be 4000 years old?

Well, it looks like a tree, and it is a tree, but sadly not the one  in Llangernyw!  Nice try.   

[Hugo]

Is it the Bleeding Yew Tree of Pembroke?   

Often one sees sap coming out of an old tree, usually where it is healing up, but usually these “bleeding” areas heal up quite quickly. Recently I came across a most remarkable yew tree when I visited the ancient village of Nevern in Pembrokeshire. It has a 6th century church (St Brynach’s Church) and in the churchyard there are a number of ancient yew trees (Taxus baccata). One of these yews near to the gate is called the “Bleeding Yew” which is about 700 years old

[Yorkie]

Breaks my bleeding heart to have to admit that you are 100% correct!  I hoped for a little longer, but knowing the depth of knowledge on this Forum I suppose it was not to be!

  Hugo.   

[Hugo]

I must admit to looking at that bleeding branch and then doing a Yorkie myself.     

Just goes to show that an old dog can learn new tricks

Where is this building in North Wales?:

[Nemesis]

Llanberis?

[DaveR]

Not in that part of North Wales, I'm afraid.

[Yorkie]

The Eco School in Llangefni, on Anglesey?   ZXZ

[DaveR]

You're heading further away now, Yorkie. As a clue, this building is owned by Welsh Water.

[Merddin Emrys]

Near Ruthin?
