EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in a secluded recess, partway down the rugged cliffs of Castlemartin in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, lies the ancient church of St Govan. Dating back to the 13th or 14th century, this small, yet historically significant building is a testament to the rich heritage of the Welsh coast. The church, tucked away from the elements, is surrounded by the crashing waves of the Irish Sea, creating a breathtaking and otherworldly scene. The exposed location of the church adds to its mystique, as the rocks and lantern-like windows appear to grow directly out of the cliffside. The rough, rocky terrain and the vast expanse of the sea create a sense of isolation and tranquility, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a glimpse into the past. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the church in its natural, untouched beauty. The sea spray and wind have etched intricate patterns into the rocks, adding to the natural artistry of the location. The small, yet sturdy roof of the church stands proudly against the elements, a symbol of resilience and endurance. The ancient church of St Govan is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Its unique location and stunning scenery continue to draw visitors from around the world, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in exploring the coastal gems of Wales.
