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.

The Cross at Llanddwyn Island, Anglesey.
There are two crosses on the island the inscriptions on this plain cross reads : “Dwynwen“; “in the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria 1897“; “in memory of St Dwynwen Jan 25th 1465“; and, “erected by the Hon F G Wynn owner of the isle“. Dwynwen (or some say Dwyn Wen – Blessed Dwyn) is the patron saint of lovers for Wales. Her Saint’s Day is celebrated on 25th January: a very popular day for couples to visit the island.
