Borth-y-Gest - Quiet Harbour
Borth-y-Gest is a small, quiet harbour just outside Porthmadog. The village boasts a historical significance as a site where ships were constructed before the establishment of Porthmadog. Noteworthy are the "pilot houses," positioned at the harbour's entrance, where pilots would keep watch for ships in need of their assistance. Prior to the development of Porthmadog, Borth-y-Gest served as the starting point for a significant crossing over the wide and perilous Glaslyn estuary. Local residents earned their livelihood by guiding travellers across the hazardous sands of Traeth Mawr, leading to Harlech. Nature enthusiasts can explore Parc y Borth, a local nature reserve nestled in deciduous woodland dominated by ancient Welsh oaks. The reserve is home to various wildlife, including green woodpeckers, tawny owls, and pied flycatchers, making it a delightful destination for birdwatching. On the shoreline lies another nature reserve, Pen y Banc, featuring a blend of coastal rocks, secluded sandy coves, and mixed woodland. Established in 1996, this reserve is an excellent spot for observing wading birds. The mild climate contributes to a diverse range of vegetation, from gorse and heather to blackthorn, crab apple, and birch, creating a welcoming environment that attracts many visitors to its beaches.

Rhuddlan Castle (Welsh: Castell Rhuddlan) is a castle located in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, Wales. . Part 2. . Rhuddlan is next to the River Clwyd. During the fortification’s lengthy construction, the river course was straightened & dredged to allow ships to sail inland along a man-made channel. Its purpose was to allow provisions & troops to reach the castle even if hostile forces or a siege prevented overland travel. A further protective earthwork & timber structure was created around it in 1280-82. The castle was completed prior to the rebellion of Llywelyn the Last in 1282. . The story of Rhuddlan goes back much further than the fortress built by Edward I. Prior to the Norman occupation of lower Gwynedd, Rhuddlan was at the heart of a Welsh cantref. From here the Lords of Rhuddlan commanded the Perfeddwlad (lands of north east Wales) on behalf of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (1007 – 5 August 1063), the last ruler of all Wales. The town itself, however, began as a Saxon “burgh” founded by Edward the Elder (son of Alfred the Great). .

<BEACONS WAY> • @stephenruffley • Waking up early in the morning in order to get this photo was worth it. Initially a steep climb up the side of spot 629 and my legs were on fire. Pitched up the tent, chilled for an hour or so then watched as the sun slowly but surely crept it’s way above the horizon. I may have to do more of this 🌄 • #sunrise #sunriseoftheday #sunrise_and_sunsets #sunriselover #sunrisephotography #breconbeacons #penyfan #corndu #beaconsway #breconbeaconsnationalpark #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #hiking #hikinguk #photooftheday #photography #visitwales #explorewales #discoverwales #mountains #mountainlife #trek #trekking #teamadventureuk (at Craig Cerrig-gleisiad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZEQq7Foh3q/?utm_medium=tumblr
