Photosharp Wales – Landscape and Macro

Solva lies on the north side of St Bride’s Bay, in North Pembrokeshire in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. It lies on a deep valley at the mouth of the River Solva. In the valley is Lower Solva, consisting of a long street ending at the small harbour. Solva became the main trading centre of St Bride’s Bay in the medieval period, and was important for lime burning. Several lime kilns are preserved in the harbour area. The harbour is now a boating centre. This image is also available on my Photo4me site here.
