Well one Hollins, take a seat in the Grand Stand.   You picked up the racing clue.

Nice try Steve but it's neither of them.    Perhaps a photo from the other side of the Church may help.

Part two

Those interested in the maritime history of the region going back to Viking times will enjoy a visit to the Lleyn Historical and Maritime Museum in St Mary's Church at Nefyn. There is also a historic water well here, known as the Ffynnon Fair.

Wasn't easy, all these little churches look the same.  The Anchor gave it away in the end although I had seen the weathervane..  Next please!   :D

I'm afraid that I've got no more at present and my next walk isn't until Friday and anyway I'm watching the England football match at the moment so I should be asleep soon!     ;)

In or around the Llandegla Forest or the RSPB’s reserve in Conwy, are a couple of known sites in North Wales where they have relocated.
