There would have been lovely views over the priory ruins and the Cleddau but they are now obscured by overgrown trees. The old workhouse is now owned by the council and has been converted into flats. There is still an air of desperation to the place with boarded up windows,loud music, rubbish everywhere and even a bath dumped outside. Despite all this, some occupants still strive to make it a nice place to live with tubs of bright flowers.
