Sat 12 Aug - Haverfordwest

 Started the day with my second UK parkrun, not super rainy this time, but not sunny either!  

Then it was off to Scoveston Fort, a sprawling structure built in the 1850's to provide land defence against the French and that was home to Dad and several other families from 1940 - 1947.  No gas, no electricity, no running water!  Incredible really.  Nature has now reclaimed the fort but parts were accessible and we had a good look around...


Then it was off to Bosherton Lily Ponds


The ponds are a linked system of three man-made lakes designed to provide fishing opportunities on the Campbell family's Stackpole Estate

Afterwards we headed to the bleak and desolate St Govan's Chapel - a  tiny hermit’s cell built into the cliff at St Govan’s, near Bosherston...


And then on to Broadhaven South beach, where it was blowing a bit of a gale, but that didn't deter the wedding that was taking place there!  And then a bit of a cliff walk along more of the stunning Pembrokeshire coastline..
