What is recorded here
Abereiddy Beach and Tower is a castle, fort or tower in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Perhaps the tower watched for ships or simply marked the edge of a family's land. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of summer days and the salt of winter storms. Imagine a keeper living there, reading the sea instead of books.
