You don't have to be a walker to know where the building is?        $walesflag$

              Another shot in the dark, is it the Afon Dwyfor near Llanystumdwy?  I'm sure I've seen that house featured on a TV programme about building luxury houses, something like "Grand Designs" or similar in the last year or so.

Gwynant,  you're spot on.    That building is called Cefn Castell and was on Grand Designs.            &well&

A bit further along the beach by the Dwyfor Estuary was where we saw that tent like structure.  It's a great walk from Criccieth to Llanystumdwy and is just under 5 miles in length.

          Where in North Wales would you see this structure?  (The photo has been cropped to avoid making it  too easy to recognise the location.)

         No guesses yet, so a couple of clues along with a slightly de-cropped pic. This structure is situated within a radius of 200 metres of 3 methods of transport and/or distribution, and although it is pictured from above in this photo is much more noticeable seen from below. I would imagine that most forum members pass within 100 metres of it on a fairly regularly basis, but although it is very visible it's much easier to see if you are travelling one way rather than the other ......

             Well done Bri. We  walked from Rhos along the cycle path, crossed the Rainbow bridge, climbed the steps up to Penmaen Head and then walked down to Llanddulas and then back along the cycle path again, and we looked over the ballustraded arch down onto the quarries which I had never seen from above. I had no idea they were so extensive (see attached pics)

If you walk along this board walk you'll see it, hope the photo helps         $walesflag$

The rusty old winch is very close to the water

That's a good guess Hollins but it's not Newborough but it is on Anglesey.

It's near a weir but although you can see it you can't walk to it
