Abereiddi’s Blue Lagoon is world-class for watersports, but its rugged rocks and ruins  #
Description

Pembrokeshire played a lead role in the slate industry, with around 100 quarries in the county in the late 18th century. Slate that was extracted from Abereiddi was transported by tramway to the neighbouring Porthgain Habour and shipped out. The quarry itself was active until the early 20th century and later abandoned and flooded. The Blue Lagoon was formed when the channel connecting the quarry to the sea was blasted, allowing the sea to flood in. Ruined quarry buildings still sit on the clifftop, with the remains of the workmen’s cottages adjacent to the car park, along what was called The Row. You’ll also spot the foreman’s house and the powder store here.
