Tunnel - the first of three
This tunnel is the first of three cut through to the beach at Coppet Hall and from there there is one short tunnel through to Saundersfoot. The tunnels were cut to allow the coal, iron and bricks to be transported initially by horse and cart and in later years by steam train to the harbour at Saundersfoot. The main industrial developments were inland (north) of Wiseman's Bridge at Grove Colliery and Kilerry Iron Works. The old miners' train track is now a delightful pedestrian and cycling route.

View of the bay at Wiseman's Bridge
Here there is a sandy beach, and a few car-parking spaces that are doubtless much in demand in Summer.

Blocked cave, Saundersfoot
Probably a mine adit. Looking through the bars, a tunnel cut into the rock can be seen. There is another one further south towards Coppet Hall.

Micro-landscape on the cliff face
The shaly rock supports a growth of yellow-green lichen (or algae), and a grey lichen, and enough soil has been made to support pennywort.

The Cordon Slipway, Wiseman's Bridge
Dedicated to the memory of Councillor Tom Cordon. However it is not much use for boats, as an iron pipe filled with concrete has been set into the ground at the centre of the slipway next to the road.

Stream across the beach at Wiseman's Bridge
Really a small river. For some reason it is culverted before discharging onto the beach.

Alternative route near Saundersfoot
An alternative to the coastal path (sometimes closed due to rock falls) is along the cliff top. This route passes through woodland, looking beautiful in early morning mist and with the bluebells out.
