Pembrokeshire - May & August 1953


The Pym family have arrived in their Standard Vanguard car and placed their caravan, a tent for the boys and a toilet facility in a field full of hay stooks at Upper Porthmawr Farm, situated below Carn Llidi and overlooking Whitesands Bay. It is a wonderful setting for a holiday on which the August sun shines. In May, the Pym parents holiday-ed in the caravan alone and walked the coast path blooming with spring squill and thrift (footage of which follows the family holiday).
