The word &#039;gwiber&#039; means viper and hence this is ostensibly a site for snakes. The carn is surrounded by one large stone wall apparently prehistoric. — Carn Gwiber toward Newport Credit: Jakob Matera-Byford

Carn Gwiber toward Newport

Atop Carn Gwiber (possible Bronze Age round barrow) looking eastward. The word 'gwiber' means viper and hence this is ostensibly a site for snakes. The carn is surrounded by one large stone wall apparently prehistoric.

Churchyard and ruined church, Cwm yr Eglwys

All that remains of the church of St Brynach, the rest having been washed away by the so-called Royal Charter Storm of October 1859. A somewhat melancholy sight, all the more so on a drizzly afternoon. As for the meaning of the name, if this were Cornwall rather than West Wales, the wording on the map might well be 'Church Cove'.

Non-flowering gorse by the coast path on Dinas Island

The gorse on the moors is a blaze of colour currently, so it was a surprise to see this not in flower.

Path junction, Cwm-yr-Eglwys

Footpath PP16 45/2 joins the coast path here from the left. (The coast path is mapped as an alternative to the strenuous route around Dinas Island). On the left is the swampy woodland shown in SN0139 : Swampy woodland, Cwm Dewi.

The easy inland version of the coast path runs through this caravan site to the sea by the ruined church.

Old advert, Cwm-yr-Eglwys

An advertising sign for Thomas L Ainsley, a marine optician of Alexandra Road, Newport, and fixed to the side of a hut near the car park. I can find a reference to him trading as a bookseller as well as a marine optician, and based in Cardiff, but nothing for Newport. I must search out an old Kelly's ...

Pig sty, Pen-y-wennol

The pig sty at the site of the now-ruined farm of Pen-y-wennol was restored to immaculate condition in 2011, when this photo was taken. It has since become very overgrown. It can be viewed from a footpath running along the hillside. Pen-y-wennol: top of the shuttle, probably a reference to the steep winding road from the village to access the place - although 'gwennol' is also the word for swallow (the bird).
