Wonky gate. Snowdonia is cross crossed with dry stone walls and this will have gone somewhere at some point. #gate

Lot of stones. Abandoned cathedral nearby?

The church and priory are still there but whereas in the past, they owned the entire county, now they own the land they occupy only so there’s a lot of leftover infrastructure. That particular gate would have gone to priory gardens, most probably

Nice! Beautiful wall and gate, your photo allows us to imagine what the home it used to protect looked like. I started watching Jeremy Clarkson’s show on Prime. His neighbor Gerald, rebuilds the stacked stone walls beautifully.

If you’re into wonky, and dry stone walling, I hope you’re aware of Andy Goldsworthy…

Something so intriguing about old gates that appear to lead nowhere. The stories they could tell.

A trade that is sadly disappearing, stone masons and black smiths, both incredibly beautiful in their own craftsmanship!
