            My answer was solely based on zooming in on the exit of the River Dee at the bridge where the B4391 crosses the eastern end of Llyn Tegid, where you can discern some concrete buttresses and trees etc. on Google similar to those in the photo, and not on any local knowledge! But the River Dee flows in a  south-west to north-east direction from Bala down to Chester. Yorkie, you must know where you took the photo!
                                                                                                                                         WWW  $walesflag$

I would have had no idea where it was without the prompt from Gwynant.   I've rowed a boat from Llyn Tegid down a part of the Dee and remember the water being very calm and just like a mill pond.  The River Treweryn is different altogether and apart from releasing the water for the water sports it has at times released it to try and wash away the algae that sometimes appears on Llyn Tegid.  I was in Treweryn some years ago but didn't see that structure then.

I've used the Watersports Centre Cafe on a number of occasions with the Car Club and they do a decent coffee and a great bacon butty!   ^*^0

You're hedging your bets there Yorkie,  so minus one point to you   ;D

First clue is:-

It's not in a field and it's not near a hedge!      ???        $walesflag$

So far I must have found about a million Celtic crosses, but sadly, nothing resembling this one, so as they say on Dragon's Den, "I'm out."     :D

You should be able to see it on Google street view but you can't,  but it's still worth a view.     ???

I'm going to have another attempt, that it is at a viewing point on the B5113 not far from the Llanwrst to Nebo Road (B5427).   ZXZ

Right idea Yorkie, but wrong place unfortunately.    You need to go east and it's on the hillside.

If you're coming down the hillside you'll see it on your left!

Got it!  It is on the left side of a hill (if you are descending), and some distance East of the B5113 and within the general are of the Clwydian Hills to the West of Denbigh!   L0L

In other words, I haven't got a clue!   ZXZ

You've got it all correct Yorkie and I've even told you the name of the road but where is it?
This clue is a give away

One last try:

A new Celtic Cross has been commissioned by Prestatyn & Meliden Churches Together (Cytun). It stands on Gwaenysgor Hill, overlooking the town of Prestatyn. The Church of the Holy Spirit and Prestatyn Parish Church chipped in £1500 towards the cost. The cross will shortly be dedicated by the Lord Bishop of St Asaph.

The info may be a bit out of date.
Persistence pays off so they say, just hope I'm right!   ZXZ

Gop Hill is also around there, I believe.

Well done Yorkie,  I knew you'd get it in the end.   

 &well&

The road down from Gwaenysgor  to Prestatyn is actually called the Hillside and the photo was taken from the viewpoint car park on the left as you are driving down.
The road itself is out of view but it is in between the grass bank and the hedge and the Google Street view must have been taken before the cross was erected.
