Thank you so much for another most interesting video. Brings back memories of a long time ago. 54 years ago I studied at Atlantic College, St. Donat's Castle near Llantwit Major. Last year my wife and I had a wonderful holiday week in Porthcawl. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it. I did a walk past St Donat's earlier in the year and had a look at the history of the place (surprised who visited as part of William Randolph Hearst's entourage). I remember visiting as a kid, it was an open day or fete the college used to hold in the summer.
My husband worked in ATLANTIC COLLEGE in the kitchen his name PHILIP PRITCHARD until 1972,perhaps you knew him, we all used to go to the THREE HORSE SHOES IN MARCROSS,CHEERS .🏴🏴🏴🏴
Hi Eileen, good to hear from you. I do remember the name Pritchard, but after such a long time I can't put a face to it. I hope to visit South Wales again in future, as my eldest daughter and three grandchildren live in Cardiff. Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks 👍 It was the first time I actually stopped there. I came across it because of the old anti invasion defences which are now a scheduled monument.
I always thought it was Rhoose point. Before all the development some 30 years ago we used to ride our bikes from Barry to the old quarry. And in a hedge used to be an old sign just like a street sign type thing saying "most southerly point of wales". So there has always been a sign there, just most of the time it was covered in brambles. Oh I've also just come back from tinkinswood after seeing your video on it last night.
Yep, Rhoose is the most southerly although there's probably not that much in it. Breaksea point seemed quite dangerous considering how many shipwrecks there are in the area. What did you think of Tinkinswood, quite a big stone to move without modern machinery.
@@flydriveexplore yes without a doubt.spoke to a guy who knew quite a lot about these chambers. We've been there before it's about 20 by bike and today was lovely. like I said I subbed to your channel last night so I thought I'll go there today as it was nice. I also found out something interesting about a small cave in Goldsland woods near by. It might be a bit under whelming but worth an investigate.
Funny you should say Breaksea Point was considered the Southern most part of South Wales, Nah, I was told in the Early 60's it was Rhoose Point, I new where breaksea point was but never ever thought it was important as it was within Aberthaw power station, absolutely nobody I knew thought it was the most southerly point. (and thats from a very long time ago)(
