That fooled me completely, well done Hollins.       

I enjoyed a nice coffee and a good chat with a guide  last time I was there and my Nain also lived by the port but I still didn't recognise it.

You are in the right country Mull but not there. Here is a clue from Mr H.......

The god of the seas is rising down there.

[SteveH]

From your clue I think it is........
Neptune's Staircase and the Canal, Banavie     Caledonian Canal     Loch Linnhe

[hollins]

Well done SteveH, you are correct.
Action man was up Ben Nevis at the time.

An easy one for the Sunday afternoon.      Where will you see this in N Wales?           

[SteveH]

Is that an old railway line and station ?

[Hugo]

It is, now where is it?

[SteveH]

It is, now where is it?

The old railway station, now a home, in Steshon village near Trawsfynydd, Snowdonia National Park, Gwynedd North Wales ...............Lucky search.

[Hugo]

That's the one Steve, well done.       It's the old railway station in Trawsfynydd.

When I read your answer I looked it up on Google and saw where you had found it.   I had never heard of Steshon Village but when it clicked I had a good laugh to myself.
It's near the end of the Cwm Prysor  disused railway line and is in Station Road Trawsfynydd.   Sounds like Steshon Village is a made up Pigeon Welsh/  English name.      

Here's a short video with some old photos of the railway on it

There's a nice little feature on You Tube called "Railway Reminiscences" which shows more shots of then and now plus an interview with John Roberts who worked as a guard on the Bala - Blaenau line.
