A Seaside Holiday By Manorbier Beach

A Memory of Manorbier.


Although this view of Manorbier Castle dates from 1890 it is the only photo in the Francis Frith collection which shows the nearby beach. I am happy to record our family's day on the beach here and it is unchanged more than 120 years later!

My granddaughters Anna and Connie helped me to build a sandcastle and watched the incoming tide wash it away. Anna climbed in and out of the rockpools with Grandma - my wife Elizabeth - and netted two shrimps. The sun shone and we had a lovely time paddling in the waves.

The whole happy experience was rounded off with lunch in the sheltered and sunny garden of the beach cafe. A memory to be recalled with pleasure in years to come!
