I'm sure that's Great Orme in the background, I'm wondering if these castle pictures are Beaumaris, I'm sure it's Wales, I'm almost certain it's Edward I era. I've discounted a few around the Welsh coast, wrong stonework, wrong position and I'm left with Beaumaris. Whats does anyone else think - I may be totally wrong.

Thanks Mike, Beaumaris was the only castle I could find that fit in with the surroundings on the photos.

The other possibility might be Harlech Castle - same type of building and situation?

I had a look at Harlech (amongst many others) I dismissed it purely because of the distinctive shape of Great Orme in the distance which can't be seen from Harlech. There are a lot of Welsh castles built in Edward I era which look alike, it was the location of Beaumaris in relation to Great Orme that made it my first choice. 

I checked also on Google Earth and the car park seems to be in the correct place as well Smile

The church in the background is St. Marys Church Beaumaris, has a rather distintive tower.
