Signpost at Plas Newydd with information about the HMS Conway.
Very quirky and cleverly done, as, if you look through the clear glass, at a certain angle, you can see the Ship on the Menai Strait in 2024 !!!
-------------------------------
Info:-
In 1949 HMS Conway was moored in the Menai Strait near Plas Newydd.
The ship was supported from the small dock in the grounds of the Estate.
The ship was wrecked after running aground in 1953.
Footpath to nowhere - in the grounds of Plas Brondanw,there was no signs or map for us to follow to look for Brondanw folly or tower?
This was the wedding present by his fellow officers in the Welsh guards instead of silver ware - Sir Clough Williams Ellis asked for a folly tower,in the open countryside of his estate at Plas Brondanw in the village of Llanfrothen/Garreg.

Plas Brondanw in Garreg, Llanfrothen, Gwynedd, North Wales, was the family home of Clough Williams-Ellis, creator of the Italianate village Portmeirion, and elements of similar architectural styles can be seen at both locations. It is a grade II* listed building.

The front originally an E plan, or intended to be, but the left wing is missing. The date 1626 appears twice in decorative pieces inside and the date 1628 once.

Steps at plas Brondanw tower or folly,a wedding present from the Welsh guards to Sir Clough Williams Ellis instead of silver wear when he got married.
A bit of a journey of discovery for me whilst I get myself "fighting fit" after my recent visit under the surgeons knife.
No wildlife, no birds, no big lens.......landscapes here I come
Situated 4 miles west of Wrexham near the village of Coedpoeth the Clywedog Valley Trail follows the River Clywedog through the Plas Power Woods that once thrived with activity at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Some heritage remains today at the Minera Lead Mines Country Park. Nant Mill Wood, part of Plas Power Woods, is a great place for woodland photography and home to the beautiful Plas Power waterfall.

Excellent news!
Thanks for looking everyone.
Plas Power this morning. Took a couple of hours out to check out the waterfall in Autumn for the first time.
This is a manmade wier which is about 15ft tall and built from local stone, in reality it looks rather like a natural waterfall. The shallow riverbed (in places) allows those with wellies to get in the water to take photographs.
On this occasion, I am perched on the edge of the rock with just a few inches to spare behind me.
