Solva, Pembrokeshire
Visited the village of Solva in July and enjoyed the peace and quiet of a walk alongside this sheltered bay. A cup of coffee and cake outdoors was particularly welcome on our return to the village. It all seems a long time ago now particularly as the first storm of the season is now brewing outside!
What a summer we have enjoyed – I am not particularly comfortable with very hot weather but must admit it is better than what we are about to experience in the next few months. The Spring cannot come quick enough for me!
The village of Solva was a trading centre in medieval times and the remains of lime burning kilns are still visible on the left of this photograph. The deep valley made it a very sheltered anchorage for trading vessels. Today the boats are mainly pleasure craft and tourism has become the main trade given the prominence of the village to the nearby Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
