POINTS OF VIEWSt Justinian (Porthstinian): Home of St David’slifeboat station. Ramsey Sound, between hereand Ramsey Island, is a dangerous stretch ofwater. Ramsey Island was once joined to themainland, and you can see the white waterbreaking over the submerged rocks of TheBitches (to the left). Seaward of Ramsey Islandare the perilous Bishops & Clerks rocks. StJustinian lived on Ramsey Island until he wasmurdered.
Clegyr Boia: Scant remains of Neolithic & IronAge settlements (hardly worth climbing). Saidto be the ‘castle’ of Boia, the local ruler whotried in vain to resist St David 1,500 years ago.Legend has it that Boia’s wife told her maids to“go where the monks can see you and, withbodies bare, play games and use lewd words”.The display had the desired effect on all themonks except St David. There was divineretribution. Boia’s wife slew her stepdaughterand went mad, whilst Boia, his household andthe castle were destroyed by fire from heaven[so much for Boia-ism!].
Whitesands Bay (Treath-mawr, means ‘bigbeach'): Popular sandy beach. Worth a visit(but perhaps not today).
Abereiddi: Old slate quarrying village, hencecolour of beach (black). Flooding closed thecoastal quarry in 1904, forming ‘The BlueLagoon’. Remains of slate workers cottages canbe seen far end of car park. Toilets 100yds inlandfrom gate. Do not climb on cliffs – unstable.
Porthgain: Crammed with relics of coastalquarrying, brick making, and stone-crushingplant. Stone from the storage hoppers (derelictbrick building running along left side of harbour)was loaded directly into small ships to be takento London to build streets. Two white stonetowers mark the concealed harbour entrance. Atunnel runs from 1st archway in hoppers todisused quarry behind hoppers. Quarrying endedin 1932 depression. Worth a walk to coastalquarries - up steps by small brick building at farend of harbour. Good views of Strumble Headlighthouse to right (north) from quarry. Danger:don’t swim or climb cliffs.
