This is in a lovely setting next to Peatmoor Lagoon. There was a poster advertising dragon races on the lake one day quite soon - sounds fun.

The object in right foreground is the rusty remains of a WWII sea mine (explosive device used against shipping). On the distant hill top stands the Mynydd Gorddu windfarm [[SN6687]]. text/html 2013-05-27T15:39:28GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.480855 -4.050734 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478859 The curious building right of centre http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2425692 houses a general store, post office and cafe. Brynowen holiday centre (caravan park) on the left. Photo taken from the terrace of another cafe (where we enjoyed a nice cup of tea and suffered some horrendous 'music'). text/html 2013-05-27T15:30:11GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.485160 -4.056531 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478828 From the sand level, new sea defences on the right. text/html 2013-05-27T15:27:28GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.487427 -4.055458 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478817 From the sand level, new sea defences on the left and right. text/html 2013-05-27T15:25:18GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.487296 -4.052654 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478812 From the sand level, new sea defences in the centre and on the left. text/html 2013-05-27T15:19:06GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.486754 -4.052776 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478798 From the sand level, new sea defences in the centre and on the right. text/html 2013-05-27T15:17:17GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.488102 -4.052839 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478790 From the sand level, new sea defences on the right. text/html 2013-05-27T15:13:14GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.487052 -4.056325 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478783 I noticed a couple of these large sheets of material and associated purple webbing partially buried on an otherwise clean beach and wonder if they have anything to do with the construction of the sea defences. The large angular rocks in this shot were imported from Norway to build the new sea defences. See Chris Denny's photos of the construction process http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=41746598 . text/html 2013-05-27T15:07:21GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.487052 -4.056325 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478768 About an hour before low spring tide. text/html 2013-05-27T13:18:22GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.485530 -4.055959 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478465 The smooth brown banks and nodules on this beach are peat and wood, remains of the submerged prehistoric forest. When the tide goes out and they dry off cracks appear. The material is soft and easy to dig into. This area could be taken for the remains of a structure. Prehistoric footprints were found on the beach during the archaeological survey prior to the recent sea defence construction work http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-17353470 . The sands move around of course and I am told these features are more likely to be visible during the winter and spring when the beach has been scoured by storms. text/html 2013-05-27T13:13:03GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/93 Penny Mayes 52.485530 -4.055959 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478443 The smooth brown banks and nodules on this beach are peat and wood, remains of the submerged prehistoric forest. When the tide goes out and they dry off cracks appear. The material is soft and easy to dig into. This piece, usually submerged except at low spring tides, has been colonised by molluscs.
