Heather Cottage from the air
Heather Cottage is accessed through a well used and tarmacked back lane in which several other properties are also found and it has a lovely rural position with ponies wandering at night. The other white building near Heather Cottage is a mostly unused garage (belongs to neighbours).

Burges Island Whitford Burrows
This is a photo of high tide at Berges island (in fact a peninsula) covered in woods and surrounded by beaches and pills walkable directly from Heather Cottage and usually completely bereft of tourists apart from the odd fisherman or villager walking a dog. There is a birdhide right out on the tip of this peninsula.It is a truly magical walk when you arrive at the extreme beach and it feels slightly like being on a tropical desert island. Sit in the pine woods aside the beach reading a book (take water or a flask of tea).

St Madocs Church of Wales

St Madocs Church of Wales
Welsh Language service once a month (on a Tuesday) for those who would like to hear the language spoken locally. St Madoc is reputed to have founded a church here in the 6th century, and the present building is 13th century. Set in one windowsill is a lettered stone dating from the 6th century which was discovered in 1861 in the walls of the old parsonage house, and commemorates ?Advenctus son of Guanus?. In the west wall is a crude pillar cross and a boundary marker dating from the 7th to 9th centuries, whilst the font is probably Norman.
