To the West of these flats sits Dolwen Point. Sheltering the village of Pendine from the prevailing sea winds, the outcrop offers panoramic views of the sands below, as well…

One Of The Buoys
Cumulus clouds speckle the sky above, the deep blue of an afternoon’s sky in the full grasp of summer. Below a sky made from aqua and cotton wool sits Saundersfoot Harbour, Pembrokeshire. Trailer sailors and outboard motor-bound day boats bob idly in the low tide, moored and anchored offshore. The gentle enclosed waters offered by…
