Ceffyl haearn I think?
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Ceffyl haearn is cycle
This is rheilffordd bach yn orsaf fawr, a little train in a big (standard gauge) station, there are not so many of those

Cycling-of course, but it is far better on a Gillott

It also translates as Iron Horse, which in English can mean railway engine: I was trying a little joke.

Makes sense, explains why I love cycles and trains
Going for a trip on a draisine soon, a sort of cycle on rails

Should be fun.
Does "draisine" have any association with "draisienne" I wonder?

Right, it is a narrow-gauge line on the standard gauge formation, part of the line from Ruabon - Barmouth Junction

This lonely hostel was a welcome refuge. Where is it?
Re: Lockdown non-touring quiz
Looking at the field boundary wall, I'd say sort of Wales/Pennines/Scotland (as opposed to Cotswolds/Chilterns/South of England).
