The monks who take to the web

(http://www.caldey-island.co.uk/)

"Think of a monastery and images of monks practising a life of prayer, peace and solitude spring to mind. So the latest in wireless broadband internet connections is probably the last thing you would imagine a monastery would need. But that is what the 15-strong community of monks at the abbey on Caldey, the island off the coast of Pembrokeshire, near Tenby, have just had installed."

Carew Castle and Tidal Mill

 

"Following a fire in 1955 which destroyed a similar building in Pembroke, this tidal mill remains the only one of its kind in Wales. Much restoration work has taken place and it is hoped that in time, the mill will again be fully operational."
