Church looks about right, though the mountain may be too big :)

That crag above the church looks right, too. And the windingness of the valley.

Definitely Cwmyoy!  The leaning church tower is the big giveaway.

Hmm, looks familiar but I don't know. So I'm going to say it's the Wawel dragon in Krakow, because that's the only dragon that springs to mind, but I don't think that's really what it is. Traffic lights look all wrong, for a start!

Traffic lights look European with a guess that that is a priority route sign on the top.

The overhead cables aren't up yet.  I'm just waiting for the sh!tstorm of horror when they finally get round to stringing the cables between the pylons along Princes St   ::-)

Dwi'n siwr.

I was planning a tour round that area a few years back, and as is my wont bought a shedload of books. The Dragon Bridge was something I wanted to see, as well as Lake Bled, as I have a thing about silly river beasts and monsters. There is now a daft statue in Gateshead near the site of the Trinity car park, and there is a truly silly one at Tarascon. Same logic as the afanc of the Conwy.

Here's a link to the Tarasque, which I found rather hilarious:

And the Gateshead one:

EDIT: The silliest ones I remember are of Kaiser Bill in Koln. That moustache...

From the cars, I'd guess at the US, but after that I'm struggling. New York ?
