Today we are going for a walk around Bosherton Lily ponds , which is adjacent to Broad Haven South beach.
After a short journey we arrive at the National Trust car park at Bosherton , a couple of minutes walk and we see our first view of the famous lily ponds! which are huge.
Boardwalks have been constructed over the pools , Mol is very nervous walking over anything like this! The water is crystal clear and i can see loads of fish, and a couple of southern hawker dragonflies are hunting :)
The path goes through a wooded area and we have come out high above , what a superb view from up here :) the pools stretch as far as we can see in both directions!
its getting very warm now in the hot sun :) another great day to be out walking .
Continuing on following a map we picked up somewhere, the path follows right up the valley to the ruins of a large house that this estate was built around a very long time ago.
Any how we come to another Boadwalk , 4 people and one labrador are walking towards us over this "Narrow" boadwalk, so we obviously wait for them before crossing ourselves , the "Terrible twosome" which are on leads go down for a drink while we are waiting.
Then! just as the lady with a labrador comes to the end of boadwalk ,
a "southerner" barges past us , shouting "get those bloody dogs out of the way" , i shout back "we are waiting for people on the walkway, and stop all the swearing" Jan has just shouted at him also!
I have just recieved a load of verbal abuse back!!!!!!!!!!!!! "thats not swearing" he shouts!
KNOB Head, do you want to get pushed in? i reply , as the other people on the bridge get knocked out of the way as he storms off , and Replys "you would be in court monday if you do! "
What at total arsehole! the other people are standing at the end of the boardwalk laughing at him , they cant believe his attitude!
after all that excitement we carry on our walk :)
Eventually we come to a split in the path , the right path continues around this arm of the pools which would take a long time to go all the way around and we still have to go the the beach later so we have decided to carry straight on.
A couple of people that over took us a just after the incident with the "Knob", have just stopped to talk to us on their way back , one asked if we had seen him again , Jan says "Look there he is" pointing to the middle of a liliy pond :D after much laughter we carry on walking.
The path follows the pond and we have just seen our first glimpse of the arch bridge :)
Having reached the bridge we decide not to go any further and make our way back to the car.
Jan is waiting for me on the boardwalk , Mol is still very nervous on bridges and similar :(
After getting back to the car we have driven round the corner to get an ice creme , while i wait in the car , the car alarm suddenly goes off! I'm fiddling & pressing buttons trying to turn it off! Argggggggg
After consuming ice creme we arrive at Broad haven south beach , the tide is out and its a really warm early evening. time to cool off the terrible twosome now :)
Posing with "Church Rock" behind her
Getting very wet now :)
its amazing how quiet everywhere is down here , a huge empty beach!
Awwww poor Mol :( hehe
Not time to go Already?
A Last look :(

Marloes Sands Pembrokeshire holiday june 18 th 2014
Today we are on our way to Marloes Sands which is near Martins Haven where i caught the boat over to Skomer yesterday. it is looking like a very warm day , possibly 22 - 24 degrees and sunny :)
After a visit to supermarket to get supplies for a picnic we have driven down past Milford Haven to Marloes ,after parking and walking down a track to the beach we find the tide is still high but will be on its way out soon.
Gateholm island is straight ahead and Skokholm further beyond.
Having made our way down to the top of the beach , and clambered over rough rocks and boulders onto a bit of flattish stony ground i notice the sky is looking amazing! Chester is hot already and lying in the shade of this huge boulder Awwww
Hey Mollster , doesn't she look small lol
Love this sky!
The sun is coming out now as the tide recedes and we can Finally get onto the sand , the rock formations here are stunning.
Time to play , the Terrible Twosome are running and having fun :) they have paddled a bit but will soon be in swimming now that we can walk out into the shallow water.
Magnificent views
There they go, Spladoosh!
They are both swimming now , Yay Mol has got the ball this time
shot with 400mm lens
and Chester!
Think this is the most spectacular beach i have been to!
"Isolation"
Mollster swimming again :) funny how she hated water when i first got her!
she loves the sea now lol
The tide is well out now , beautiful flat sand , and Chester is barking for me to throw the ball!
Wonder how/why these huge rocks are out here well away from the cliffs!
one of my favorite images of this beach
a wet Mollster posing, or waiting for the ball more like
a empty beach panorama :)
Nice light illuminating the rocks :)
Time to leave the beach and just as we come to the stream that enters the beach, i spot a male Golden Ringed dragonfly :) i manage to get quite close before it flies off , looks like it has just merged fairly recently.
After a bite to eat in the car , i have walked along the top path to photograph the entire length of beach from high up , superb views from up here.
a huge beach and no one on it! go figure
Mol is posing well :)
On our way to Little Haven now for dinner and maybe a sunset , a nice warm evening for sitting ouside :)
Its a tiny village , spotted 3 pubs already lol and only about a dozen or so houses around the hills surrounding the small cove.
a short walk around the headland gives a view towards Broad Haven beach just around the corner from here. low evening sun is lighting up the cliffs :)
a panorama of the small cove of Little Haven
and finally , Sunset :)
the end of another fantastic day in Pembrokeshire
