Bosherston Lily Ponds & Broad Haven Beach Pembrokeshire

The wild weather last weekend abated enough for us to brave a walk. The wind remained strong but the rain held off. We chose Bosherston, the track alongside the lily ponds is relatively sheltered. It was quite beautiful in the afternoon's watery sun. Several bold little robins sat amongst the shrubbery keeping to their territory even as we passed very close by and a pair of swans kept pace with us along along the ponds in the hope of titbits.



A dramatic scene greeted us as we stepped out onto Broad Haven beach. The waves so huge that Church Rock almost disappeared with every other gigantic roller sending up a protest of spuming white foam. A handful of thrill seeking surfers took their chances in the boiling surf enthralling us with their nerve and skill.





Lily & Skye, 3 & 1, charged with all the excess electro static energy in the atmosphere played roly poly endlessly. Their squeals of excitement and glee pierced the roar of the wind and waves as they tumbled down the soft sand dunes.


Our walk back to the National Trust car park completed the loop as we followed the path on the other side of the ponds passing a keen fisherman on route.
