Towards Penwaun, frost damage

Image: © Marion Phillips Taken: 23 Feb 2010

Extremely cold weather a month in January 2010 has damaged this road. Water has seeped into hairline cracks and expanded as it froze. This can be seen on the left while on the right, potholes are already developing. This is the same process as causes frost erosion in cliffs.
