Old lifeboat station and breakwater below Penrhyn Castle The first lifeboat house was constructed here in 1849 and was paid for by public subscription following a series of ship wrecks with substantial loss of lives, vessels and cargoes. This one replaced it in 1876 and was in use until 1932, subsequently replaced by the Poppit Sands Inshore Lifeboat Station in 1971. The boat house and the breakwater are now marked Private but there is a PROW up behind it.

Tumbledown dwelling between Poppit and Cippyn Just below the road are the derelict remains of what seems to be a traditional longhouse. The byre would appear to be nearest the camera and the human dwelling (with chimneys) at the western end. Warning notices suggest that repair or renovation may be underway or planned. Thanks to local historian Glen Johnson it appears that the name of this property is Tyllwyd Bach (= Small grey house)

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.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path above Cemmaes Head A family walk along a short stretch of the coast path, scanned from a slide in my late father's archive; the exact date isn't recorded, but my recollection is that it was around Easter. Cardigan Island is visible in the distance, above my head.
