In the vicinity of the Irfon Valley?

Looks like the run in to the Devil's Staircase.

Good lord no... we don't allow peasants on our property!

It is a fishing lake though.  A bit of close observation and googling may get you the answer...

Clarion's correct, I think.

That arch is pretty memorable.

And I've never been to Llanthony, so I wouldn't have thought of that ;D
