Well done Steve, you could also have got it from the engraving as there was a clue there.    I didn't want to post a photo of the front of the Church as it is so distinctive you could have got that from Google.     $good$
It's a beautiful little Church which has been well looked after and is worth the effort to visit when you are in that area.

.It is situated on the north-western coast of Anglesey, North Wales, in the vicinity of Cemlyn Bay and Hen Borth. The Church was founded in the 6th century by St Rhwydrys and the present Church dates from the 12th century. St Rhwydrys church is one of the most isolated of Anglesey's churches but its proximity to the Anglesey Coastal Path has probably made it accessible to more visitors than ever in its long history. It is well worth the small diversion from the path and a visit to the churchyard may surprise the traveller with the size of the slate chest (or table)

Two unusual views of somewhere I have visited this last week. Any ideas?

A wild guess to start with --- Beaumaris Castle.

Have you been to Barmouth again Nemesis?     It could be Cymer Abbey by Dolgellau

you know me too well Hugo !

Correct !  The contractors were in the middle of dismantling a huge marquee, which had been set up for a wedding at the weekend. It must have been a lovely setting. ;D

Nemesis,  I haven't got a clue so I'm going to have another wild guess.    The picture looks like a man made water fall like they used to have for water mills so I'll have a wild guess that it is on the Torrent Walk.        ???

I wish !! Don't think either of us could manage the Torrent Walk these days.
I'll give this a bit longer, but you are roughly on the right track.

Somewhere in the Dolgellau/ Barmouth area so I'll have a think about that.        ?{}?
