Gorsedd Stones are arrangements of standing stones constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales for each one. They are scattered throughout Wales and are a nice surprise when you come across one unexpectedly. This particular group of stones was constructed for the Eisteddfod in 1972. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorsedd_stones https://www.dreamstime.com/gorsedd-bards-circle-haverfordwest-pembrookshire-stones-are-arrangements-of-standing-stones-constructed-the-national-image101698853

Blackpool Mill, after being sadly neglected for years is currently being renovated. The plans will see a heritage restaurant open at the Mill welcoming visitors all year round serving lunches, cream teas and dinner. Watch this space!

Great views of the Cleddau estuary. Take care in high winds though!

In high winds (around 50 mph!) the bridge can be closed to cyclists. Text ‘bridge' to 80039 for the Pembrokeshire County Council Bridge Status. There's a segregated cycle lane on one side, so you don't have to share the road with motor traffic.
