Looking towards Ballast Island and Portmeirion peninsula
Ballast Island is where returning slate ships would dump the ballast they used for stability on their return journeys from foreign parts. The peninsula in the middle distance has Portmeirion "Italianate village" on its far side - the woods are the Arboretum.
