That's another good guess and I can see why you guessed that but it's incorrect I'm afraid

This photo should help

Well done spotty dog you deserved that.          &well&

I must admit that I had never seen the jetty before we went there yesterday.    It's a private residence now and we had a nice chat with the owner of the property

I looked everywhere but I couldn’t find that.
It’s a small pier, but nowhere to be found online.

Rhuddlan,  I've just looked at the jetty on Google using the satellite image and noticed that there is a proper path from the jetty leading directly up to the bungalow that we parked the car near.
Perhaps the bungalow is for the pilots to use rather than a holiday home as we first thought?

Rhuddlan sent me this link about the Liverpool Pilot Station at Point Lynas,  the photo was taken nine years ago but it's still an impressive dormer bungalow.

This property looks like it could be at home in the Wild West but you don't have to go far up the Valley to see it,  but where is it exactly?

It's near St Michael's Church if that helps to find the house?            $walesflag$

A river or stream flows through the valley but this place strangely is not at the head of the stream.    ???           $walesflag$
