Just the best beaches #wales #pembrokeshire
Beautiful untouched beach in Tenby. Voted one of the top beaches in the UK to visit.
A small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park. Swathes of golden sand and crystal clear waters, Barafundle has been voted many, many times as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world; it’s often likened to a Caribbean beach! This pristine beach is isolated which means no facilities; so everything you take has to come back up over the cliffs. #instone #remotebeach #roadtrip #reflections #beach #wales #uk #seaside #sea #coast #coastal #pembrokeshire #britain #stones Location Nearest town: Stackpole Quay County: Benfro / Pembrokeshire Latitude/Longitude: 51.6175, -4.90087 Postcode: SA71 5LS (postcode is for sat-nav purposes only, and may not represent the actual address of the beach) Access From the road between Stackpole and Freshwater East. take the turning to Stackpole Quay.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal. T. S. Eliot During the walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, I wondered what kind of poet wrote this epic story that we find ourselves in. Silly boy...always asking why the sky is blue as if it would change the taste of chocolate or Irish stew. Yet, I still need to know...why? Keeps me occupied, I guess, on days when there is nothing to do but wonder...why blue? #hiking Gravitational Waves On The Horizon: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jan/12/gravitation-waves-signal-rumoured-science http://www.wired.com/2016/01/astrophysicists-may-have-found-gravitational-waves-or-not/
When we are not sure, we are alive. Graham Greene The hike was coming to a close and I was now more connected with my inner chaos. The connection between "I", nature and all the elements therein were buried in a maelstrom of confusion. I was the confluence looking into the eye of the storm only whole when violent forces are at play. Certainty and calmness only existing for a nanosecond in the hurricane of my capriciousness. I was content in that oasis of apprehension. #hiking
