Old Chains by the Slipway What looks like an old anchor and chain rusting away on the quayside.
The causeway beyond is shown as a public footpath, which it may still be if you fancy getting muddy.
Ms Blenkinsopp is standing about as far as you can get without wellies.

The mooring ropes are not in such good condition. Seriously slimy.

Newtown Quay Newtown was a busy port in medieval times. Now the town is reduced to a few houses and the quay is the quiet home of a few small boats.

Levee round a Brine Pond Salt was made here for centuries up to the 1930s. The water on the right is in a pond where sea water was stored and partly evaporated before the brine was boiled to extract the salt crystals.
