A Dose of Sea Air!

copy_of_rhuddlan_001.jpgWe had a long walk along Kinmel Bay today to let the sea air refresh our souls. It was one of those times when the tide was out and the beach deserted, thus allowing us time to think and to be present to God.

copy_of_rhuddlan_030.jpgJust across the River Clywd from the castle stands the ancient church of St. Mary's. The old parish church was constructed in 1301 A.D. and remains intact as the southern nave. During the next two centuries the remainder of the church was constructed to follow the classical Clwydian double naved church style. The structure was restored in 1870 by George Gilbert Scott.

Although the busy main road crosses the river on a concrete fly-over to the left of this picture, the view from this footbridge remains picturesque, as does the view from the churchyard out across the open countryside towards Colwyn Bay.
