Yes,  I have been over to Rhuddlan again, but it's not there.   That's going in the wrong direction too.

It's not Conwy either as that's also too far east.      Good detective work there Yorkie so I'll show you some more steps.

This place is on what was once an iron age hill fort.     ?{}?

I've nearly run out of steps here, there can't be many more can there?

This must be my last try as there are 570 hill forts in Wales and a lot of them in the North West.  So I'll have a bash at

That's incorrect Yorkie but don't give up on me yet as I know that you have seen it.       ;D

I'll put you out of your misery now for all your efforts and show you this building.   If you've seen this cottage then you know where I was.

I am reminded that another of your favourite haunts is Llangollen so what about

 $walesflag$    Castell Dinas BrĂ¢n      $walesflag$

or is that too far East also?

Wrong again Yorkie,   I thought that the cottage might have been a give away.    Here it is again from another angle.

The cottage doesn't mean a thing to me, no  idea about it, except that the sign on the wall tells they have CCTV!   Z**

You couldn't have seen it then as you drove past but what makes you think this is a castle?        $walesflag$

Is it the Marquess of Anglesey column? And is that expanding foam holding it together??

First instinct, round tower, clockwise ascending stairs, thickness of wall,  didn't think of columns being hollow.   That's my daily advancement in local knowledge!

Spot on Jack   &well&

Good try Yorkie    $good$

We went up the 115 steps and apparently it is closing to the public on Friday so we were lucky to have gone there when it was open.

Well done Jack and also Hugo. What a brilliant quiz question! I had no idea you could go inside it so it was very interesting to see those photos. Thanks.

Thanks Hollins,  my friends and I have never been to the top of the column but always wanted to go.  You pay 75p at the cottage before you go up and we were lucky because it may close today to the general public.
That was expanding foam as you said Jack and I suppose at just 75p a visit it isn't viable to keep it open at present.

Do you have a better image, it is not reproducing very well.   :(
