Clynnog-Fawr Post Office The old post office in Clynnog-Fawr, North Wales, which closed in January 2006. I spoke to the house owner who likes the old metal windows and post box. They wanted to remove the post box but could not replace or repair the metal window.

Y Beuno? This building no longer appears to be "Y Beuno" as the signs have gone, a hotel named after the Saint of that name who had a monastic foundation here. Clynnog was a stop off point on the pilgrimage trail to Bardsey. According to trip adviser it seems to have shut as a hotel in 2013, despite excellent reviews, and now be let as a single unit for family reunions and the like. Perhaps someone local could confirm that.
