Even though the winds have been blustery and the light rains off and on, the sunsets along the coast of Wales are incredible.
These pictures were taken just a few feet from our stay in the caravan park in Aberaeron. We didn't stay in a caravan but they have a couple of apartments on the property in a house that used to be a 5 bedroom manor and has been remodeled.
Aberaeron Harbor to Lanechaeron has National Trust property with trails that go back several miles into the hills. Some are free and others include nature guides. We chose the free trails and came across some interesting finds. We started out on the bridge from the parking area. It crosses a small river taking you to the trailhead.
I had to dip my hand in the water, and it was mighty cold. The outside temperatures were 8 °C and the winds along the coast were around 35km.
I'm not sure why they call this "common" holly. It's a beautiful, dark, and shiny green.
Many trees are knocked over by the strong winds. The taller they get, some dying or dead, with shallow roots, are susceptible to the winds.

Fungi that have grown on the root system of a fallen tree.
It was nice to get out and get our shoes off the pavement and cement. The hikes we took are one of the highlights of the trip.
The weather not being so good, most people stayed home. It made it a great hike. It was quiet, and you could hear the birds and the water along the river. A very small but nice waterfall.
The river runs through the town and out to sea. The colorful houses are everywhere. Aberaeron was a small shipbuilding town founded in 1807.
