Footpath Diversion

At this point the coastal footpath heads inland away from the cliff top. The original intention was for the path to follow the cliff but the landowner successfully challenged this. To be fair there are other sections which are also not that near the sea.

Grid Waves in the Teifi Estuary

Also known as cross sea or square waves, grid waves are a result of the intersection of two bodies of water. In this case the Teifi Estuary and the Irish Sea.
