Castle Square and Swansea Castle.

On one of my very few trips into the city centre I took a few shots of Swansea Castle and Castle Square. I vaguely remember Castle Square being Castle Gardens before somebody thought it would be a good idea to pave over the flowerbeds and build a fountain, somehow this is looked at as progress.

Swiss Valley Reservoir, Llanelli.

Some pictures taken from a walk around Swiss Valley Reservoir, another trip where I was hoping to find another place to go fishing, but to be honest it did look a bit barren even though I did see a few clueless people fishing with heavy duty set ups, no net and one dead Roach which had been unfortunate enough to take one of their baits.

The Reservoir was well hidden and when I did eventually find it and it was massive and quite a nice walk which was aided by a rare dose of sunshine. I even managed to spot two toads in the middle of a late spawning embrace and they didn't seem to happy when I picked them up for a photo, enjoy the photos.

Ilston's Abandoned Limestone Quarry.

The second part to walk took me to Ilston's abandoned limestone quarry, I hadn't even noticed it before my cousin pointed it out, an interesting place with very little written history. I believe that the limestone quarried here would have transported to Devon where it would have been boiled so that the lime could be used for farming.
