Porthclais *

            This tiny harbour located at the mouth of the River Alun in South West Wales has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1940.

The harbour was built in the 12th century to serve the nearby city of St Davids. Timber, coal, grain and limestone were traded through it and the remains of the lime kilns can still be seen on the side of the harbour. 

Today, Porthclais is a quiet backwater used mainly by boat users and walkers. There is a small car park and a National Trust refreshment kiosk which was most welcome on the day we visited because of the weather.
