Carmel Chapel This little chapel is reached via a winding road through Cwm Capel (translated as Chapel Valley).  It is near to St Illtyd's Walk - I wonder if there's a history of religious buildings at this location?

Old Pembrey Harbour Now silted over, this was once a thriving little harbour that served to export the coal mined from nearby Pembrey Mountain. A new Pembrey harbour was built but soon renamed Burryport Harbour. It can be seen in the distance in this photo.

Quay at Pembrey Harbour This former quay, deep inside Pembrey Harbour, has been restored in recent years. At low water, silt and salt marshes cover the former harbour, making it impenetrable for modern-day craft.

Burry Port Harbour Built in 1832, this harbour was called the 'New Pembrey Harbour' at that time.  It was subsequently re-named when the former Pembrey Harbour was abandoned in 1878.

Pig in mud Can you see the pig from the mud?  I have no idea why the entire area where the pig wandered around (surrounded by electric fences) had no grass or any other greenery.

The hotel in the background also had a distinctly unused look about it - it looked like it had suffered from a major fire.
