Dist:0.3km<br/>The liquid natural gas pipeline from Milford Haven to Aberdulais snakes down the hill above Hendy to cross the Loughor river near a rail viaduct and on towards the road bridge this shot was taken from.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Path by the ground which is on flat ground west of the river (Afon Gwili). Beyond the village is set on the hillside in the next square.

Dist:0.8km<br/>I don't know if this can be classified as a tidal bore wave. This is the moment where the tide suddenly reached this section of the estuary this evening when the tidal surge was close to its maximum this autumn. The water in the foreground is at normal low tide level but the water coming round the corner is noticeably higher and could be visibly seen very slowly moving up the river. It was nowhere near as dramatic as the Severn bore (nor as obvious) which makes me wonder if this can be classified as a bore or a sudden influx of water...

Dist:0.9km<br/>There are a number of thoroughfares across the Gwili valley that have been abandoned for various reasons over the years. In this case, the ford that crosses the river became unusable for today's car - indeed it would be quite a formidable obstacle for a heavy duty four wheel drive!

Dist:1.0km north<br/>This bridge allows pedestrians to cross the Gwili avoiding the nearby ford (which is almost impossible for vehicles to use too!)

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>The M4 bridge over the Loughor river also crosses a farm track which is a public footpath. This is the view from the track along the underside of the bridge to the river.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>The boundary walls can be seen to the left of the farmhouse. It was built circa 1100 and moved stone by stone to the Museum of Wales at St Fagan's near Cardiff. It is just one of over 40 buildings reconstructed there. A fantastic day out - and all for free! http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/teilo/
