Five Holiday in Pembrokeshire - Caldey Island and Barafundle Bay


The holiday-ing party – 2 women, 1 man and 2 dogs – take a boat trip over to Caldey Island, off Tenby, home to Cistercian monks, who make a living from farming, perfumery and tourism. Perhaps by chance, the film-maker catches a shot of the back of a monk’s head as he drives past on a tractor - visitors were told (at least in the 1930s) that the monks were strictly not for filming. Then it's on to Barafundle Bay, with its arched gateway and stone steps onto the beach.
