Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Cambrian]

It looks like the site of the former Dee Bank Colliery at Bagillt.  Now a scrap yard, the large building was formerly the winding house - I think. Usually this is only seen as you whizz by in a train!

[Hugo]

Well done Cambrian, you are spot on.     

It's what is left of the Bettisfield Colliery at Bagillt.    I had a coastal walk from Greenfield to Flint Castle and passed this place, certainly not one of the most picturesque walks I've done.

[Hugo]

This should be a very easy one, where would you see this in N Wales?         

[Nemesis]

Dolgarrog

[Hugo]

Well that didn't last long did it?      Well done Nemesis.       

[Hugo]

Hopefully this will last a little longer.     Where is this and what is the name of the building?       

[Hugo]

The question on this Holy place has lasted a bit longer than I thought, but where is it and what is it called?     

[Nemesis]

It looks somewhat unused, never been in but will guess at Gwydir Uchaf Chapel?

[Hugo]

That's a good guess Nemesis and we were there yesterday and it is a Chapel we are looking for,  but it's not Gwydir Chapel.
 By the way Gwydir Chapel is closed but the key is held in Gwydir Castle if anyone wanted to see inside the place


The Chapel we are looking for is Holier in more ways than one!     

[Hugo]

If you do go inside of the building you may even be able to wash your sins away!             

[Cambrian]

Another shot in the dark.  Is it the old chapel, heavily overgrown, situated on the A470 near Dolgarrog railway station ?

[Hugo]

Cambrian, you did really well to guess that        Now for another point what is the name of the Chapel?       


You could wash away your sins in this place and possibly your smalls too!     

[Hugo]

This Chapel is really badly neglected and over grown with brambles and trees.  Behind the Chapel is a sheer rock face which seemed to have running water coming down it in front of the main door and above the rock face are Holly trees.                     

[Hugo]

The Chapel is hard to see as you are driving down the A470 as it's so overgrown but it's situated below the Holly Trees.   Any idea of the name of the Chapel though?       

[Gwynant]

           I've come in late on this one Hugo, (ongoing computer problems.......),and I've never noticed it when driving that route, but going solely on your "Clues Cymraeg" I'll have shot at Capel Coed Celyn, but I can't seem to get any info on it!
