Porthgain Harbour, Pembrokeshire.
Porthgain (Welsh for fair/beautiful port) is a village in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales, located between St David’s and Goodwick, and just north of Llanrhian.
The village of Porthgain has a wealth of historical relics from its time as a prosperous industrial harbour in the early 1900s. At one time, the harbour exported slate from quarries a few miles south at Abereiddi, Trwynllwyd and Porthgain itself.
The harbour, still home to local fishermen, is very busy in the summer. This image is also available on my Photo4me site here.
