Sarf or west? I was just picking up on the “tidy” bit as it’s a well known word used by ‘Ness in Gavin & Stacey. However, I realise that it refers to “tidy beach awards” or somesuch but the list is quite extensive and I’ve a Bimini top to fit to my boat :D

Steel yourself and go west young man! 😉

(The beach does has a Tidy Beach award. When I typed tidy I realised it was appropriate given we are in Wales - glad you got the ref to G&S :) )

Could the road be the Princess Margaret Way, Port Talbot?

Not Poppit Sands Ex-A. The road is The Princess Margaret Way and it's Aberavon Beach, Port Talbot. The grass knoll to the left is nicknamed Tellytubbies' Hill and underneath are 'the finest beach toilets in Wales' according to one PR blurb. I thought the old bean reference might have led to PT, location of the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence.

Evening all.

Going by the second image, I think that this may be the Restless Temple at the Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, Gulval, Penzance.

OH if confirmed.

Looks like that to me, so it's OH, here's an easy one to move along. This not a photo I took, but I've walked along there many times and recognised it instantly. This picture was in a newspaper this morning.

If it's time for a clue, the bridge in the photo does not go over a railway.

Do they drink Guinness there straight from the Liffey? Is it the Liffey that goes under the bridge?

It's not the Liffey, but you are very close, about 20 minutes walk.
So close that I would give you this one unless you or someone else would like to be more specific.
