Neyland, Pembrokeshire, Wales: 14 July 2016
Day 14


After a slow start (and I am really liking that part), we went for a drive toward the town of Dale.  We did take a walk along about two miles of the Welsh Coastal Path.  We found an isolated beach where I found a few pieces of beach glass.  We also met a kid along the way who works at the nearby environmental think/study tank.  He told us that the fortifications we were seeing were Napoleonic, so actually, they were rather new.  At our rate of two miles a day, and allowing for rain, Justin figures we might get it all done by the time he is about 150 years old.

Back in the town of Dale, we were tempted to stop for an early dinner at the award winning Griffin Inn.  Drinks on the roof first and then downstairs where Justin had a fabulous lobster carbonara and I chose a more traditional steak and stout pie.  It was easy to understand why this restaurant has been named the best in Wales for two years in a row.  Dinner started with a toasted goat cheese with a beet and onion chutney and was rounded out with a chocolate knickerbocker...a decadent ice cream fancy -- yummy!
