Mill Farm
View from the embankment planned for an alternative railway route that was never completed. There was more than one mill in this valley running down into Goodwick.

Little tin house
Small houses and other buildings made of corrugated metal sheets are quite a feature of the West Wales scene. This one, although evidently so neglected, seems to be in use. It is part of a cluster of cottages just off the road on the southern edge of Goodwick.

Owl tube
Nesting tube for tawny owls, not occupied. It seems angled to catch the rain -can this be right?

Road bridge in Cwm Brandy
A remarkably stout bridge carries a narrow lane across the valley; someone has taken the opportunity of using the arch to store firewood. The reason for the construction of the bridge in 1908 was part of a scheme to replace the existing railway line between Letterston and Goodwick, the gradient of which was proving problematic. The cut-off, running beneath this bridge and south through Manorowen Wood, would have been easier but the work was never completed owing to the outbreak of WW1, and not required by post-war railway engines.

Bridge across a railway line which never was
The story - as told to ceridwen http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/6699 by the local historian Roy Lewis - is that early in the 20th century the GWR started work on a new approach route to its terminus at Fishguard harbour, along an alignment with easier gradients. Work on the new route was at an advanced stage when war intervened in 1914. From what ceridwen was able to show me I would guess that all of the basic engineering was complete, and little remained to be done other than laying the track and installing signalling. For whatever reason the project was not proceeded with post-war. Perhaps the reason was shortage of manpower, perhaps it was that the modern locomotive stud introduced by GJ Churchward coped better with the gradients of the existing route. I have to thank ceridwen for alerting me to the existence of this line, and for navigating to this rather out of the way spot.

Old building near the Drim
This substantial building at the Drim could have been a barn or store house associated with the gentry house and farm or with the nearby mill. It has had some renovation but at the time of the photograph appeared disused.

Railway bridge, Trefwrgi Road, Wdig/Goodwick
Fishguard's once-daily train from Cardiff (connecting with London etc.) is seen here seconds from its destination at the ferry terminal. It will pick up passengers and start the return journey in less than half an hour. There is another such train service in the middle of the night.
