ST0266 : Aberthaw Power Station - Breaksea Point
near to West Aberthaw, The Vale of Glamorgan/Bro Morgannwg, Great Britain

Aberthaw Power Station - Breaksea Point
The cladding of the structure is 'white' but seen here it is bathed in the light of a low autumn sun. The coast in the immediate area comprises quite large 'cobbles' that have been piled up by the high tides and storms that are common to this stretch of the Bristol Channel. At the low tide line there are exposed rocks that protect bands of sand.
Despite the protective seawall it is not unusual after storms, coinciding with particularly high tides, to find large cobbles some distance inside the perimeter wire of the power station.
