- The landmark innocuously marked as "beacon" on Ordnance Survey maps of the area just half a kilometre or so south-west of the little village of Rhosycaerau and easily visible from the coast path (from where the photograph above was taken) is in fact the Strumble Head VOR, a vital navigation landmark for trans-Atlantic aircraft and colloquially known as Green 1 among aviation enthusiasts who like to sound knowledgeable about this sort of thing.
- More importantly, pubs: we went to two worthy of note during our holiday - The Sloop in Porthgain and the Farmers Arms in Mathry, both of which offer good honest pub grub to eat and excellent Felinfoel Double Dragon to drink. I nominate The Sloop if you must go to only one of them, just because of its coastal location and the interesting industrial history dotted around nearby.
