I want one  . My mother's family came from the area too.

Thank you.  Sadly it's not my picture but I love that style.

Further to Ellenmai's Cornwall clue, there is a "roundhouse" at Sennen Cove thought I don't think this is the place depicted in the painting.

Thanks!  The picture on that website is very much the same style.

It is a possibility though.

It looks similar to Ty Crwn Roundhouse Prison in Barmouth Wales. There is a rocky outcrop behind it too, though I haven't found a photo taken from the exact angle of the painting so am unsure if this is the place.

That's it! That's exactly the one. Thanks so much everyone.

Excellent find Ruskie.
Wouldn't hold many prisoners would it.
