Yesterday we went for a drive along the narrow country lanes hugging the coastline. We drove to Swansea and then on to Mumbles. There is a pier at Mumbles but it is currently being refurbished and wasn't open.
From there we continued on along the coast stopping at various bays and inlets until we reached Port Eyron at the end of the peninsula.
It is spectacular coastline with rugged cliffs and smugglers caves, beautiful sandy beaches and many small islands just off shore.
After Port Eyron the road takes you up and away from the coast, climbing up to a plateau where the views are breathtaking and there are hundreds of wild Welsh ponies grazing in the pastures at the side of the road.
Our final destination for the day was Tenby about 8 miles from where we are staying. It is a lovely seaside town. There is a busy fishing harbour on one side and a lovely protected beach on the other. The town itself is pretty with cute cottages painted in pastel colours of blue, pink and green. Every shop and house has a display of hanging baskets of colourful blooms. The town has won many awards.
We went for a lovely coastal walk around the bay which takes you past the harbour and the beach and around to the lifeboat station. Tenby has the worlds most advanced lifeboat. We had just missed seeing it launched last night, but we did see it out at sea.
