The Samsung NX 300 and 18-55 m.m kit lens "does" West Wales

All images displayed here were taken using a SAMSUNG NX 300, and the 18-55 m.m kit lens.
This place has images all over the internet, and is frequently labelled as, "One of the best beaches in the world. I refer, of course, to Barafundle Bay. It has a curving, quite wide, and quite deep beach, that is light golden sand, with a beautiful blue sea.

This is a National Trust property, that is completely unspoiled. Please keep it as such if you visit. The beach itself is around a twenty minute walk from the car park. The walk invilves some steep steps up to the path, then a walk along the cliff tops, though not near the cliff edges. Then, when you reach the wall, that overlooks the beach, there are a lot of stone steps down to the beach itself, so, sadly this beautiful place is not accessible to wheelchairs. So some disabled people wukk not be able to get there. Take advice from the National Trust Wardens that are normally on duty at the car park. Having said that, I present to you, Barafundle Bay.

Also while there we went to Fishguard, (Abergwaun), and had a lovely meal in the Royal Oak, on the square there. This was the site of the signing of the peace treaty that signalled the end of the Last Invasion of Britain, in 1797. The plaque above the front door of the pub tells us this. I wont bother you all with the historic details about this time in our history, as you can "Google," for the details yourself, if you feel so inclined. This is the pub itself.

We also visited the lighthouse at Struble Head. This is a spectacular outlook over the Atalantic Ocean. If you look at the lighthouse, you can see the light is on. This is another trip worth making, if only for the sea scapes from there.

We also visited Saunderesfoot and its beach, which although not as nice as the one at Barafundle Bay, is more easily accessible. This beach is just off the road, so is reachable for anyone. which shows by the people there. While it is not overcrowded, there are a lot more people there, than at Barafundle Bay.

 

 

While at Fishguard, we went for a walk along Pen Slade and took lost of photos of Fishguard Lower Town. This is the place where Dylan Thomas' "Under Milkwood," was filmed. Also "Moby Dick," was made here. Though, you will have to use your imagination, as the houses and buildings had false fronts fitted, to make everthing look more, "Olde Worlde," in keeping with the era that was portrayed in those two films.

 

 

That's all for now folks. Keep safe, and we'll speak soon. Kindest regards, Twm.
