Hi Sara
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition.
When I saw this, I thought of Penrhym Castle, so thank you for telling us it is in Aberystwyth!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend , and stay safe!!

I was pleased to find her here.
I must admit that you can get a better view compared to the relatively cramped gallery at Penrhyn Castle. [which sort of makes up for the NT chucking her out from the Castle]
