'Resting till next time'
A visit to an area I have wanted to see for a long time. I have seen this area from across bays but never had I visited until yesterday. This area is a beach called Tan Ddinas. 'Tan' has the Welsh meaning 'under', Tan Ddinas being the name of a farm above the bay. The remains of the buildings you see in the background are the remnants of an old limestone quarry that was operated here where the quarried stone would then be loaded onto ships via a jetty that has long gone. The quarry is called Tan Ddinas quarry and also has a Welsh name of Carreg Onnen (Ash rock).The quarry was closed in 1919 however reopened sometime in the early 1950's closing again in the late 1950's. I've attached links for you to visit if interested. This driftwood had been thrown to a high level on the beach just waiting for the next high tide to grab it and take it on its next journey to who knows where.
