EDITORS COMMENTS
St Catherines Island and Fort (Ynys Catrin), a small tidal island linked to Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, by Castle Beach at low tide. This evocative photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the rugged beauty of the Welsh coastline and the historic fortification that stands guard over it. The rocky island of St Catherines, also known as Ynys Catrin, is a popular attraction for visitors to Tenby, a picturesque seaside town renowned for its medieval walls and sandy beaches. At low tide, the island is accessible on foot via Castle Beach, creating a unique connection between the mainland and the island. The fort, which dates back to the late 16th century, is a testament to the rich history of the area. Its strategic location on the coast made it an important defensive structure during times of conflict. The lantern-lit windows of the fort add an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, while the calm waters surrounding the island create a sense of tranquility. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more peaceful way of life. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the natural and historical treasures that can be found along the Welsh coastline. It invites us to explore the wonders of St Catherines Island and Fort, and to appreciate the beauty and history of this unique and fascinating place.
