I've got this as inside Salisbury Cathedral, the arches inside St. Davids are Norman, these are Gothic.

St. Davids stonework is a lighter colour inside and it is not quite to ornate as Salisbury. 

I think you will find this is St David's - look here: http://pembs.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/st-davids/sdc1/

I has taken me hours to look for this cathedral - and not once did this one come up in all my searches, so really very well done Ruth!

Yes that's it Cathy, I see now it has a mixture of Norman & Gothic arches, the photos I found of St. David's interior were all lower level and just Norman, all sorted then Laughing

I thought at first we were back at Beaumaris Castle but I am almost sure that this time it is Harlech Castle.  I am trying to find matches for Roberts photos but here is oneWheatley (NOT) Please help us to identify this location

Do the rest of you agree that it is probably safe to assume all the latest uploads are of Harlech Castle?

Yes Cathy, those I'm sure are Harlech. Identical photo on this link.

These I think are Skenfrith Castle, it's a bit of a ruin.

I looked at Dolbadarn Castle for the above, but the surroundings are wrong.

Not so sure about Skenfrith now, looking on Google Earth I'm not happy about the buildings in the background.
