The end of another ‘busy’ day and time for an evening barbeque

We stayed at Caerfai Bay campsite, close to

St. Davids. 

 

Again there were beautiful coastal walks in every direction.

We took a boat trip around Ramsay Island which is a nature reserve.

The rocks in the picture are called The Bitches and are mostly concealed at high tide.

The turbulence in the photograph is not the wash from the boat but the tide rushing out over the rocks. You can see the difference in sea level on the far side of the rocks.

Just out to sea from here we watched porpoises playing in the strong tidal currents.

Ramsay Island is riddled with coves and caves. This is just one of them where the boat went in really close.

Above us were thousands of sea birds nesting on the sheer cliff faces.

Wild horses at St. Davids Head

St. Davids Head has been populated for thousands of years. It provides a natural defensive headland.

There are remnants of round stone houses and ancient burial chambers.

Everywhere there are footpaths to explore.

 

The town in the distance is St. Davids, The Uk’s smallest city.

On the way home we stopped at Bath for a couple of nights. Whilst the girls did some retail therapy in Bath, the boys cycled 10 miles out and 10 miles back along the Kennet and Avon canal.

We found a few interesting pubs on the way. This is The Inn at Freshford.

 

Everywhere you looked there were lovely old buildings built with the honey coloured stone.

In this neck of the woods it seems as if time has stood still.

 

No shiny, new technology here.
