Pencoed Trailblazers cleared 180m of an old right of way yesterday with 22 volunteers. A proper mix of people turning up, mucking in, and bringing a forgotten path back to life. Small job, real impact. #Pencoed #PencoedTrailblazers #CommunityAction #Volunteering #WalesOutdoors #RightOfWay

A really good mix of people came along to join in

Footpath 5 needs freeing! It’s overgrown, blocked and begging for escape. Join Trailblazers on Sat 20 June, 10–12pm to help clear the old route to the dingle + brickworks. No kit, no pressure — just fresh air, friendly faces and a forgotten path to rescue.

Abercastle carries the spirit of a lone sailor. In 1876, Alfred ‘Centennial’ Johnson crossed the Atlantic in a tiny open dory and slipped quietly into this harbour after 66 days alone at sea. A small place with a giant story. #Wales #Pembrokeshire #History #Abercastle #Cymru #Hanes #SirPenfro.

Out exploring the Vale of Glamorgan today and got the drone up between two favourites: one with walled gardens from a long‑vanished estate, and another Norman castle built to guard a river crossing. History did most of the work — the drone was just a bonus. Any guesses where I ended up wandering?

St Elidyr’s church, Amroth. Parts of this now-closed church probably date from the 13th century. The site was in religious use before then. One of several in Pembrokeshire dedicated to Elidyr, thought to be the same person as St Teilo who lived in the 6th century. #photo #church

#ourworldiswonderful; I leave you this evening with a shot of the River Wye as it flows between England and Wales, carrying water from the Brecon Beacons down to the Severn Estuary at Chepstow.

The river bank forms a diagonal from the bottom right corner to midway up the left side. The river flows between that and the far bank, as a smooth waterway partly reflecting the blue March sky above patched with white clouds. Leafless trees grow along the far bank.
