Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

Capel Celyn.....?    The village that disappeared under water.

[Hugo]

A good try Steve but it's not near there.


The people living in this location may be in strong disagreement over the boundary too.

[Hugo]

Another big clue to the disputed boundary.  When people just can't agree then they could be at this place.

I must owe Wikipedia a few bob today, but I think this is right.

Loggerheads is a village in Denbighshire, Wales on the River Alyn, a tributary of the River Dee.

It has a country park which follows the course of the River Alyn through karstic limestone countryside including the sites of old lead mines and mills. there is a working flour mill on site.

A leat or leete, built around 1824 follows the side of the valley nearby and was used to carry water to the lead mines of Mold Mines, on land owned by the Grosvenor family. It is now the popular Leete Walk. The name Loggerheads may come from the dispute over estate boundaries between the lordships of Mold and Llanferres.

Well done Steve, you deserved that one after all your hard work   


It's a great walk and when I posted details of the walk some time ago DaveR  mentioned about the water disappearing from the river in the drier Summer months.   I've just copied something to explain about this unusual occurrence
 Between Loggerheads and Rhydymwyn it runs through the Alyn Gorge, which is the site of the caves Ogof Hesp Alyn, Ogof Hen Ffynhonnau and Ogof Nadolig. The river mainly runs across a limestone surface, creating potholes and underwater caves, into which the river flows through some of the summer, when water levels have decreased significantly. For parts of this stretch the river bed is dry for most of the year.

We saw this building on a walk today in N Wales.   Where was it?           

[Hugo]

Time for another clue

[PhilMick]

Old Llangelynin Churgh above Henryd.

Brought back many scouting memories.

[Hugo]

Old Llangelynin Churgh above Henryd.

Brought back many scouting memories.

That's a good try PhilMick and I can see why you have said that, but it is not Llangelynin Church.

Where is it though?       

[SteveH]

Anglesey, Llantrisant, Old Church?

Changed my mind .....The church in Llanfaglan.

[PhilMick]

A bit posh inside for Llangelynin

[Hugo]

Anglesey, Llantrisant, Old Church?

Changed my mind .....The church in Llanfaglan.

Sorry Steve, but you were nearer with your first guess.   But not near enough

[SteveH]

Llancelenyn Church......?

[Hugo]

Llancelenyn Church......?

Steve, I don't know where that Church is, but I do know that it's the wrong one!

This poor chap was a long way from home when he died

[Hugo]

Some more photos from inside the Church which may help?
