| There seem to be several ditches crossing the area which might suggest that it is fairly flat and poorly drained. It is clearly not first class farmland, having something of the country estate away from the grand house about it. |

| This looks like a large clump of rhododendrons in flower, suggesting a somewhat acid soil. |

| I think that this lake will be helpful in identifying this image which has eluded us all so far. |

| Sorry, im not doing very well identifying anywhere and just asking questions! But what would these lines in the grass be? |

These look like 'drives' or 'rides' cut through the grass or bracken. In the first case for shooting and the second for horse riding. ... but they seem to go nowhere which might suggest the first is more likely! |

I think that this could be in the Hensol Castle area. More work needed. |

This is in the grounds of Margam Park and not Hensol Castle. The title will need to be changed. |

This is a photo taken looking south which are always more difficult to identify. I was looking in the Llantrisant area which was where a previous photo had been taken. I moved along to Margam Park when I had that Eureka moment by standing on my head, well almost. |

I am going to hazard a guess at this one as I believe it may be part of the grounds of Belton House near Grantham in Lincolnshire,not Wales as caption suggests.The road appears to be the (now) A607 looking towards Grantham at top of picture.The lake previously noted by class 31 could be the still extant water hazard at Belton Woods Hotel's (now)golf course(Google Earth seems to agree with this ref.distance from road).If I am right the marks in the grass are the "Ghosts" of barrack huts which were erected in WW1 as the grounds were the training school of the Machine Gun Corps-the programme "Time Team" has done a dig here very recently.The camp had it's own railway and the imprint of the trackbed could be the curvy line about 1/4 way down the picture.Could be quite wrong of course but this is definately a possibility. |

Very curvy for a railway trackbed. Look at the scale - it's more likely just a country track. |

Sorry Cabby but I can't find any evidence in the photo to link it with Belton Castle in Lincolnshire. I suggest that we are back to the drawing board. I have no idea of the correct location. |
