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

Try a little further south.

I can't tell if it's a natural waterfall or a mill one but I'll have a pop at Dolgoch

I think it is on the A487 at a place called Furnace, a little way past Ynyshir?

Spot on Hollins. Dyfi Furnace.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyfi_Furnace

The river Einion is the source of the waterfall, which was used to power the mill.

It is rather a dank and gloomy place, but has an interesting history.

It is also home to a colony of lesser horseshoe bats.

Could it be St Seriol's Well at Penmon on Anglesey?

No, further away than that Nemesis. In fact the reason I guessed your quiz was because we had driven past it on our way to this area a few days ago.

Looks a bit like Non's Well near St Davids.

Blimey Hugo, well done!
I thought that was an obscure one.

You gave another clue when you said that you had driven past that watermill and I thought to myself that Hollins is off again to the Tenby Area.          ;D
