Saundersfoot Bay - Wales

Finally the destination for the night, Saundersfoot Bay is a tourist town on the edge of the Pembroke Coast, we got here about 6:00 and sunset in the rain was about 7:00. so we checked in a went for Dinner at a local BBQ and Fish Gill. We were staying at the Malin House Hotel. The room was very nice, I suspect we were upgraded due to the link as a Tripadvisor rating.





First thing in the Morning we went for walk walking through the tunnels on the way.
This is a beautiful summer tourist town.

Laugharne Castle

Next stop was Laugharne where of course is Laugharne Castle in southern Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is located on the estuary of the River Tâf and was originally established in 1112. 
  
The town is very Old
The castle was very nice but closing by the time got there, but we got to walk around it between the rain showers.







Still a great looking castle to walk around and explore.

Aberdulais TinWorks and Waterfall

Aberdulais Falls were the next stop. The rain was still coming down hard, and the views were getting shorter. It was about 3:00pm by the time we got the Waterfalls.  and the water was coming down. Making the river look really grand.








Tredegar House


Next stop on the Welsh Tour was Tredegar House,  The Gills had made the empire close to home in Newport, with the fingers in a lot of pies, until the last generations spent all the money. But it is the outer buildings that make this special, three set of Stables, One for the house horses, One for the Estate, and one for the Township businesses. In all enough rooms and stables for 150 Horses.

This One is for the house horses.

This from the Business Stables.
This is the Estate Stables

The gates are impessive
So are the floors
And the stables are large for the large horses.
But it the building themselves. Great woodwork on their own.

The little orrangary
And small gardens
As for insside the house. Not much can be seen as the last duke spent it all.




















Newnhan next to the Severn

When driving through Newnham is along the A48 next to the Severn, we decided to stop and look at this town..













 It  is an old Town when a church on the hill. 

The buildings were all old and so close to the road edge.  the Old Court House, Police station and Post office were all now converted homes. A nice Town to stretch the legs.
