I agree with Hugo. I always have a look at it when on the coastal walk from Treaddur Bay to Rhoscolyn....shortly before heading to the White Eagle for a lovely lunch.  ;D

It's ok for some,  I have to manage on sandwiches and a bottle of water when I'm there!      :(

          Well done Hugo and Dave.R. We did a figure-of-eight walk from Rhoscolyn beach yesterday round to Silver Bay and then cross-country back past the White Eagle over to St.Gwenfaen's Church before going down to see the Arches (Bwa Gwyn and Bwa Ddu) and "Tyger's" grave, and then back past the well and Coastguard Station and into the bay at Rhoscolyn. As we came back over the beach we noticed the Cromlech by the car park (see Photo). It looked too perfect to be old and so I looked it up on Google and it is reportedly a Victorian Folly. An excellent walk, one of the ones to be found in "Circular walks on Anglesey's Coast", published by Anglesey County Council. (www.croesomon.co.uk)

 St Marcella’s (Llanfarchell) Parish Church on the outskirts of Denbigh.
Tomb of Sir John Salusbury and his wife Jane.   ?

That didn't last long did it?    Must think of another teaser to test you.

I first saw this property when I went for a walk a few months ago.    It is thatched and looked quite cute so I took a photo.   I know it could be anywhere but it is in N Wales and the house is half way up a very steep and narrow lane.
Where is it and a bonus point if you guess the name of the house.

 $thanx$ Hugo, A small point that came up during the search which I found amusing ...."The hunting knife at his left is complete with a miniature knife and fork set nestled in its scabbard a sort of Elizabethan Swiss army knife!"

They must have been more advanced than we thought Steve.    :)

All very good guesses at the name but they are all wrong I'm afraid.    One more clue:-   the house name is in English!    but what is it called and whereabouts is it?     $walesflag$

There aren't that many thatched cottages in N Wales, I know about 5 but there must be a few more too
