Low Tide

This image was captured at Porth Clais, a remote harbour on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path in south West Wales. The area has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940.

 

The harbour was built in the 12th century to serve the nearby city of St Davids. Timber, coal, grain and limestone were traded through it and the remains of lime kilns can still be seen on the side of the harbour.

 

Today, Porth Clais is a quiet backwater used mainly by boat users and walkers.
