Broad Haven, Pembrokeshire
Photography by John Ball - 5th March 2001
(taken with Sony Mavica MVC-FD91 digital camera)
Broad Haven is a quiet hamlet on St Bride's Bay, about 5½ miles west of Haverfordwest in the county of Pembrokeshire. Its broad expanse of sandy beach made it a popular holiday resort. The photographs were taken in early afternoon in bright but hazy sunshine.
