Yes, well done Neil. Massive work has finally started on the Crescent after all these years. So good to see. It was crawling with workmen. It is going to be an 80 bedroom hotel.

[Neil]

I must admit that I thought it was Bath, until Mrs Neil persuaded me it was Buxton. We had lot of drives up to Buxton for lunch when we lived in Manchester, a lovely town.

I stayed in the hotel on a weeks training course and enjoyed it so much that we were all hoping that we would be snowed in for a bit longer.
It was also the first time that I had seen snow ploughs on the front of a train but they would need them up there in the Winter.

We came across this on a walk today.  What is it and where is it?

Time for another photo

I think it is a spring well, but no idea where......there were a few similar around our house by the lake.

[Hugo]

It is a Holy Well, and it's behind a Chapel but takes its name from the nearby Church.     

[Hugo]

Many forum members must have gone by here and it's only about 50 yards from the road and near the Gwydr.

[Jack]

I will try Ffynnon Elen?

[Hugo]

And you're spot on Jack, well done.       


It's just a few yards from Y Gwydr  ( the pub in Dolwyddelan)   and right behind the former Methodist Chapel

Have to be honest and admit I cheated by looking through hundreds of wells on this website:

Who would have known there were so many in North Wales?

If you can excuse the pun, you still did well finding that answer.   I'm lucky as I go walking with Tellytubby and Rhuddlan and they both know a lot about places of historical interest and we've seen some great wells and especially those in the Vale of Clwyd.
