Hello. This morning we are up at 5:30 am for a walk along the shoreline, in Burry Port, a small town in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. The nearest city is Swansea, a 40 minute, 28 km drive away. We are a good 4 hour drive from central London, about 330 kms. By train it is at least a 4 hour ride to London Paddington. At the last census in 2011, Burry Port had a population of 6,156. From May 2021 to April 2022 the average house price was £209,582 - a detached house: £287,601. Semi: £155,624. Terraced: £154,791. Flats: £74,500. House prices here are about £65,000 below the UK national average. Burry Port sits at the mouth (where sea meets river) of the Loughor Estuary, facing the picturesque Gower peninsula. Nearby are the beautiful Pembrey Burrows sand dunes and wetlands. Before the industrial revolution people in this area made a living from farming and fishing. There was no town in Burry Port until the 19th century, though records for the Pembrey area date back to the middle ages. Centuries ago the hazardous sea waters around Pembrey were well known. Locals would salvage what they could find from shipwrecks along the shoreline. It has been said that the locals found ways to lure ships to their doom, these people were known as: The Men of Little Hatchets. They were named after the locally made speciality little hatchet tool - It had a claw to rip open cargo... and other things… occasionally being used to dispatch of unwanted witnesses. Burry Port is particularly well known for its roots in the mining trade. Coal mining from the nearby Gwendraeth Valley was established as far back as the 16th century, with cargo being regularly carried up and down the Gwendraeth River. Utilising the river a canal and quay were opened in 1768, part of which is still preserved today, Trade increased; the canals expanded, wharves and docks were built. In the 1830s a harbour was opened at Burry Port and the nearby Pembrey. It offered a way to ship coal out to sea and avoided the hard to navigate river. Burry Port Lighthouse, standing at the outer harbour, was completed in 1842. In 1848 a copper works opened and was fundamental in Burry Port becoming a town. Surprisingly up to this point there was still no registered town at Burry Port. The first records of a town started appearing in the 1850s. The emergence of it becoming a town was acknowledged with the opening of a railway station. Pembrey and Burry Port railway station was opened in 1852. The old canals were now unable to cope with capacity and were converted into railways. However, during the 20th century the mining trade went into decline… many pits, quarries and works across the UK closed. Though the mainline railway and station remain the old trade valley railway is gone. The lighthouse is one of the few reminders of Burry Ports mining history. The harbour is a now a marina popular for sailing and other leisure pursuits. One of Burry Port’s other notes in history is - In 1928 Amelia Earhart was the first woman to be flown across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Burry Port. I hope you have enjoyed our walk this morning. There is also the Millennium Coastal Path to explore if you ever visit the area, a 13-mile traffic free walk and cycleway that goes through Burry Port.
Thank you for watching. Take care and be kind.

I came to this because I needed serenity and knew it was with you. At the end, the sentiments were welcomed into my heart. Thank you. I hope you are well and that more walks will come to us through you. You are a precious soul.

Thank you Adam for this serene walk and beautiful sunset. Looks like there was quite a party of people leaving their footprints behind!!

[@everywhereisimagined]

Sometimes you think you might be the first out in the morning but it appeared I was following in the footsteps of some other earlier risers too… or some very late to sleepers. Best wishes

So so peaceful to be alone with the sea. 🙏🏻

[@michaeldriebeekvanderven]

It is moving to witness how my whole system reacts so profoundly to the subtle swaying of sea and the gentle whispers of the waves. It brings me to my essence of being. And then to hold the image on the awakening sun, accompanied by a blanket of orange sky, and stand stil whilst getting those beautiful, loving words… I say; “My, my… Adam, you are a true Master painter of the soul.”. I salute you warmly from these Low Lands shores across the North Sea 🇳🇱

[@everywhereisimagined]

As always Michael you are so kind and generous with your comments, they are touching and greatly appreciated. To be able to know that I can convey some emotion or heart with simple images and words gives some satisfaction in the the soul. Maybe one day I will travel across the water for an overseas visit to walk around those low lands.

… Wow… How beautiful… I just finished watching your video and I am quietly smiling and in tears… Your timing is impeccable… Last night I stayed up late to finish reading a book, Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens… A major theme of the story is aloneness and how a girl deals with it, in nature, by the sea… It really resonated with me… And then… your video appears… And at 12:12, you write the most beautiful words…ending with “you are never alone”… I am trying to imagine the beautiful synchronicity of it all…Adam, from my heart to yours, thank you…🌾🛶✨💖

[@everywhereisimagined]

Theresa - thank you. I have just ordered the book to read. So nice that the stars aligned to strike a chord. It really means a lot and makes me realise that it is worth while doing these walks and sharing them, especially when such kind people appreciate them. Thank you again 🥰

[@franziska3010]

Thank you so much for this beautiful sunrise! I love the morning walks. I watch them over and over again. Unfortunately, I don't get to go for a walk that early myself. When you show the scenery, it would be nice if you panned it slower. You don't get enough of an impression of the landscape otherwise. That would be great. Do you also make a video in Cornwall or other areas?

[@everywhereisimagined]

Thank you very much! I completely understand, will keep improving my panning, I think I'm moving the camera slowly when I'm filming and then it looks faster when I watch the footage at home. I'm travelling a little this year so will do some walks in these areas, I may be near Cornwall later in the year. Best wishes 😊

[@franziska3010]

@@everywhereisimagined Thank you very much! 😍 This was not meant to be a nasty criticism. During the video you are very close and literally sink into the area. Therefore, the fast panning is a little out of the rest. The videos are totally relaxing. I would be pleased and wait anxiously for the next videos. All the best and take care 😊
