    Carew Castle – A Timeless Fortress.
    As you gaze upon the stately Carew Castle, let us share its history with you. This mighty fortress has seen centuries come and go. It was first raised by the Normans in the 11th century, serving as a powerful symbol of conquest in Pembrokeshire. Throughout the mediaeval period, it played a vital role in regional politics, a time when knights in shining armour and grand feasts graced its halls.

    The Castle’s Turbulent Tale.
    The castle witnessed its fair share of turmoil during the English Civil War in the 17th century. Parliamentarian troops took control, and much of its grandeur was lost. However, like us, the swans, Carew Castle rose from the ashes. In the 1660s, Sir Nicholas de Carew initiated its restoration, creating a unique blend of mediaeval and Jacobean architecture.

    A Picturesque Pond and Gardens.
    The stunning mill pond surrounding the castle is a sight to behold. The serene waters mirror the grandeur of the castle, inviting you to reflect on the past. Its gentle flow connects us, the swans, to the history of the castle, as we’ve swum in its embrace for centuries. The castle’s gardens, adorned with vibrant flora, add to the picturesque charm.

    The Enchanting Pembrokeshire Region.
    Look beyond the castle’s walls, and you’ll discover the beauty of Pembrokeshire. This region is known for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, and ancient landscapes. Explore the coastal paths and secret coves that bear witness to countless stories of fishermen and adventurers, just as we have our own stories to tell.

    A Timeless Journey of Discovery.
    As we wrap up our guided tour, we hope you’ve enjoyed this unique perspective on Carew Castle and Pembrokeshire, seen through the eyes of the swans. Just as history weaves its narrative into the stones of the castle and the landscapes of Pembrokeshire, our presence, too, reflects the enduring bond between nature and history in this captivating corner of Wales. Come visit, explore, and perhaps catch a glimpse of us, the swan couple, as we continue our timeless journey alongside the rich history of Carew Castle and the enchanting beauty of Pembrokeshire.

  • Echoes of the Past

    Echoes of the Past

    Discovering Porthclais Harbour
    Tap to view in my redbubble gallery.

    Thomas had always been fascinated by the harbour and its rich history. He loved to explore the area and imagine what life might have been like in the days when Porthclais harbour was a thriving port.

    One summer’s day, as Thomas was walking along the harbour wall, he suddenly felt a strange feeling come over him. He looked up and saw that the sun had disappeared behind a cloud, and the sky had become dark and stormy. The muted colours made Thomas feel as though he had stepped back in time, to a different era.

    As he walked along the deserted quayside, Thomas could hear the sounds of people and animals all around him. He looked to his left and saw a group of merchants, loading sacks of wool onto a ship. To his right, he saw a group of fishermen, mending their nets and chatting. In the distance, he could hear the clanging of the blacksmith’s forge and the lowing of cattle.

    The history of Porthclais Harbour is a
    tapestry woven from the stories of those
    who lived and worked there.

    Anthony

    Thomas was so engrossed in the scene that he didn’t even notice when the storm had passed, and the sun had returned. When he finally looked up, he saw that the quayside was once again deserted, and the sounds had vanished. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had just been dreaming, but when he looked back, he could see the old buildings, the harbour wall, and the sea, just as they were in the present day.

    From that day on, Thomas often visited Porthclais Harbour, and each time he felt that strange feeling, he would imagine what life might have been like in times past. He would picture the ships sailing in and out of the harbour, and the merchants and sailors going about their business. And he would wonder if the spirits of those who had lived and worked there in the past still lingered, and if they were trying to tell him their story.

    Years passed, and Thomas grew old, but his love for the harbour never faded. He would often sit on the quayside, watching the sea and the clouds, and imagining all the tales that might have unfolded there over the centuries. And he would smile, knowing that the harbour would always be there, a reminder of the rich history and the endless possibilities of the past.

    Shining a Light on Strumble Head
    Tap to view in my redbubble gallery.

    “Ahoy there, I’m Strumble Head Lighthouse, a beacon of the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast. I’ve been shining bright for over a hundred years, guiding ships away from danger and blinking in the night sky for all to see.”

    “I may be small, but I’ve got a big personality. I’m a one-of-a-kind lighthouse, sitting proudly on my own little island called Ynys Meicl or Michael’s Island. From here, I’ve got a front-row seat to watch the most magnificent marine life pass by, from whales and dolphins to porpoises and seals.

    When the weather heats up, I’m surrounded by a blanket of flowers, and when the winds howl and the waves crash, I put on a spectacular show.

    I may not be accessible to the public, but I can still be admired from afar. The parking area and coastal path provide stunning views of me and the surrounding areas, like Carreg Onnen Bay and Garn Fawr.

    And let’s not forget, I’m also a photographer’s dream. With my flashing lights and stunning backdrops, I’m always ready for my close-up. So, next time you’re in Pembrokeshire, come take a look at me and all the beauty that surrounds me. I promise, it’ll be a sight to see.”

  • The Pembrokeshire Ghost

    The Pembrokeshire Ghost

    The Lonely Cottage
    Tap to view in my redbubble gallery.

    A small cottage nestled on the lonely Pembrokeshire coast, in an area known as St. Brides Bay. It was said that the bay gets its name from the ancient church that stands near the cliffs, dedicated to the patron saint of young brides.

    The picturesque little cottage had white walls and a thatched roof, surrounded by wildflowers and tall grasses. It had been passed down through generations of a local family, who would often spend their summers there, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the shoothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. On winter nights, they would enjoy the open fire’s warmth as the wind howled over the sea.

    However, as the years went by, the cottage began to fall into disrepair. To the villager’s bemusement, the family stopped visiting, and the cottage was left to the elements. The thatch began to rot, the windows cracked, and the walls crumbled. Eventually, the cottage was abandoned, and it became nothing more than a forgotten ruin.

    But the cottage was not truly abandoned. For it was said that the ghost of a young woman still lingered there, wandering the ruins, her long, white dress trailing behind her. She was said to be the ghost of a young woman who had lived in the cottage many years ago. She had been in love with a young man from the village, but their love was forbidden by her family and he was sent to sea to keep them apart. In a fit of despair, she threw herself from the cliffs, her ghost remaining behind to mourn her lost love.

    The villagers avoided the cottage, believing it to be cursed. But one day, a young couple, drawn by the beauty of the coast, decided to buy the cottage and restore it to its former glory. As they began their renovations, they soon discovered that the ghost of the young woman was not the only thing haunting the cottage. There were strange noises in the night and objects would move on their own. The couple became terrified and decided to leave the cottage, never to return.

    Now, the cottage once again stands abandoned, and the ghost of the young woman still wanders the ruins, her love for her lost lover still unfulfilled. It is said that on quiet nights, her ghostly figure can be seen standing on the cliffs, looking out to sea, waiting for the return of her true love.

    The villagers say that the wind whispers her name on stormy nights and, until someone is brave enough to restore the cottage and fill it with laughter and true love, the ghost of the young woman will continue to wander the Pembrokeshire coast, a lonely and sad figure, forever trapped in the past and the present.

    A Pembrokeshire sunrise to remember
    Tap to view my redbubble gallery.

    Dear Reader,

    I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to tell you about my holiday in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire. It is absolutely beautiful here, and I am having the time of my life.

    One of the highlights of my trip so far has been watching the sunrise on the beach. The colours in the sky are absolutely breathtaking, and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is incredibly soothing. I have been going to the beach early in the morning to catch the sunrise, and it has been such a magical experience it’s inspired the poet in me.

    The east awakens,
    With a fiery glow.
    The waves dance to the beat,
    Of the sunrise show

    Anthony

    My favourite moment was when I was wandering along the beach early one morning and came across a small rock pool. The water in the pool was perfectly still, and as the sun began to rise, the colours of the sunrise were reflected in the water. It was like a mirror, and I was able to capture the most beautiful photograph of the sunrise reflecting in the pool. It was such a magical moment, and I am so happy that I was able to capture it. I have included that photograph with this letter, I hope you like it as much as I do.

    The weather has been perfect for a beach holiday too, warm and sunny, with a light breeze to keep us cool. The water is so clear and inviting, and I have been swimming every day. The beach is also great for long walks, and I’ve been exploring the different coves and rock pools along the coast.

    Manorbier is such a quaint and charming village, with narrow streets, and pretty cottages. The people here are so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been trying out the local seafood, which has been delicious. I also visited the castle here, it has a rich history and it was great to learn more about the area.

    I am so glad I decided to come on this holiday, it has been a much-needed break and a chance to relax and unwind. I wish you were here to share in the beauty and tranquillity of this place. I’m looking forward to coming back home and catching up with you soon.

    Take care and talk to you soon

    Sincerely,
    Anthony

    A Shrine to Wales’ Patron Saint
    Tap to view in redbubble

    St Non’s Chapel is a small and charming chapel located in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

In addition to the chapel, there is also a holy well nearby that is said to grant wishes to those who make a wish in it.

The chapel has undergone many renovations and restorations over the years, but has managed to retain its ancient character.

    Inside, visitors can see a 12th century stone font, a stone altar, and stained glass windows, as well as various ancient artifacts and religious relics. The chapel is close to walking trails through the surrounding countryside. St David’s City, a beautiful and historic city, is not far away either. In short, St Non’s Chapel is a must-see destination for those visiting Pembrokeshire, with its rich history, holy well, and beautiful surroundings.

    Reflections at Stumble Head Lighthouse

    A Moment’s Peace
    Tap to see in my redbubble

    As the sun sets beyond the Stumble Head Lighthouse, it seems to sink into the sea, painting the sky with a stunning array of colors. From fiery oranges and reds to softer pinks and purples, the sunset is a truly magical sight to behold.

    But the beauty of the sunset extends beyond just the visual spectacle. As the day comes to a close and the sky grows dark, there is a sense of peace and calm that settles over the land. The bustle of the day fades away, and the world seems to slow down just a bit. It’s a time to reflect on the events of the day, to let go of any stress or worries, and to simply be present in the moment.

    The sunset is a reminder of the natural cycles of life, the constant ebb and flow of the world around us. It serves as a reminder to cherish each moment and to make the most of the time we have.

    The heather too in the foreground, with its delicate purple blooms, adds an extra touch of luck and good fortune to the scene.

    So next time you see the sunset beyond the Stumble Head Lighthouse, take a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty and wonder of this fleeting moment in time. It’s a moment that you’ll never get back, and one that you’ll always remember.
