Trip to Amroth

It was a glorious day last Friday and ........

I fear I was suffering from Cabin Fever

(having been in more or less for the last 3 weeks)

So I persuaded Hubbie to take me to Amroth...

one of my favourite places!

On the way we stopped for a little while

at Wiseman's Bridge and enjoyed the lovely views

In the distance we could just see .......

the church spire atTenby....

.......and even closer the village of Saundersfoot

.......and closer still Coppet Hall Beach

Wiseman's Bridge is a lovely beach with

just a few houses and the pub. 

We head on to the next bay.

Amroth

Amroth is a pretty village with houses,

shops and pubs

and, over the bump, the long beach with a castle

whose grounds have been changed

into a caravan park

I had a walk along the front and sat on the wall thinking of the summer time

when the place is heaving with visitors.....

You can just see Pendine Sands in the distance.

This beach is 7 miles long and several Land Speed attempts were made on it.

On 4th Feb 1927 Malcolm Campbell reached speeds of over 174mph

and later on 3rd March 1927 ParryThomas

was killed when the drive chain broke, killed him

 and his car

 crashed into the sand dunes!

I love sitting on the wall watching people walking along the beach

Looks like the seagull enjoys it too!

I'll look forward to walking again next year!

We travelled back over the bump to the little village

I'm ready for a coffee

I usually go into Pirates as they make a good cup of coffee and spotlessly clean!

But today I decided to sit outside and enjoy the sun and the fresh sea breeze!

What's that on the beach?

It's time for home

How I have enjoyed this afternoon!!
