Grwpiau

The end result of all the hard labour by the Welsh miners brought in to do the construction of Goodrington prom and rock walk. Today used by fishermen both local and holiday makers to catch mackerel and much more.

This picture shows some of the many paths in the background snaking down the cliff (see the person to the left) to the prom where beach huts sit in the summer. Also the geology of the cliffs is laid bare to see the effects of when it was a tropical coral reef, a forest and when the continents crashed the vertical rocks.

This picture was taken May 2014. You can see the prom as it looks today with the wall round the cliff.

The big wheel in the background is a recent attraction on the sea front. The flats on the hill top and carpark are also new additions during the last 50 years so they are not visible in the original photograph
