Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

Another easy one for a Saturday evening.   Where would you see this in N Wales?             

[Hugo]

Time for another photo

[Fester]

Interesting, because I've not seen that tower before but it intrigues me for 2 reasons.
The arrow loop and crenellations look like Victorian facsimiles of medieval designs.
Nor does it seem to have a dense, or substantial enough base.
But the archway and stone layering look like a 13th century original.
Hmm... I like castles, medieval or not, so I'm looking forward to the answer on this one.

[Bri Roberts]

Gwrych Castle?

[Hugo]

Some good theories there Fester and interesting ones too so where is it then?

Sorry Bri but it's not Gwrych Castle

It's a ruin now so there would be no point in any members of the Army remaining here?                   

[Hugo]

If the soldiers want to stay here they should bring their own tents.   There is no point otherwise as the place is now in ruin.       

[mull]

Not been there but is it Fort Belan ?

[Hugo]

Good try Mull but it's not Fort Belan.

[Hugo]

No soldiers on point duty yesterday and I wasn't surprised either.

[Gwynant]

          Soldier's Point next to the breakwater in Holyhead?

[Hugo]

Yes, well done Gwynant.     

I was wondering when you would get it because you had a walk in that area a few years ago.

I had to crop the photo with the towers and the breakwater as it would have been too easy then

[Fester]

Ahh.... so it is a Victorian facsimile.
Never heard of it.  Good quiz!  ✅

[hollins]

Where in North Wales would you see this?

[hollins]

No guesses?
Here is a bit more of the gorgeous view from the location which might help?

[Hugo]

I've been thinking about all the places on the Llyn Peninsula that have nice restaurants but can't think where this is.
A wild guess at Abersoch.
