Mill Bay

At low tide there's plenty of soft mud here. Two streams unite before flowing into this creek and one wonders if there was a mill upstream, but 19thC OS maps offer no clue.

Mill Bay through the trees

A permissive path follows the shoreline of the Claddau estuary from below Whalecombe Farm round past Mill Bay and as far as Folly, the path being on Cosheston Hall land. Much of the way is through trees, so views of the tidal river are relatively few. This shot looks north across Mill Bay with the lower end of Williamston Mountain on the far bank.

This bridge links Pembroke Dock with Neyland, avoiding a very lengthy diversion by road.

This shows the disused pier and Trinity House. Trinity House was built in 1861 as a depot for lightships and lighthouses between Swansea and North Wales with the jetty providing a landing stage and storage in its underslung rooms.
