The monkey rings that bell, but the times it rings it don’t seem to be associated with the clock.
The building used do be a church, so maybe this is payback from Satan?

I’m very, very envious of your proximity to the national park formerly known as Snowdon.
The Forest of Dean is about 90 minutes by the time we’ve got stuck in traffic on the way to Gloucester, got around Gloucester, slogged it down the single carriageway road around the top of the Severn and got into the forest proper, so it’s do-able if we’re bored. Much quicker to get to the commons and beechwood, or what’s left of the wychwood or head down to the Avebury/stonehenge landscape.
That’s annoyingly slightly out of reach for such a cool place. Sounds like it’s just far away enough to rule out for a relaxed day trip. These others all sound really nice actually, I’ve never heard of the Wychwood, I’m gonna research it.
Has Snowdonia changed its name? I went last year yet still missed that memo.
Wychwood is lovely (and has a great brewery nearby in Witney) - well worth a look in if you’re in the area.
Snowdonia and the Brecons have been re-Cymraegified FWIW; though I doubt the new names will become part of the national consciousness for a while…
Both Snowdon and the Brecon Beacons have changed their names in the last few years.

Ah so it’s switched to its Welsh name officially. I wholeheartedly back this decision, and it also means we don’t have to change any road signs.
It’s even possible to maintain crappy dad jokes, like “because it gets snowed-ON”.
How would you visually represent a valley using just a letter? Er, with V? (Yr wyddfi).
… Ok, it needs work.
