Watery Worlds
...Waterfalls, Caves, Lakes & Waves
Standing on the banks of the Cleddau Ddu River stands the propped, gnarled Crooked Oak - a tree with strong literary and artistic connections. The celebrated poet Waldo Williams (1904-1971) would stay overnight at nearby Croes Millin Chapel so he could walk down the track to witness the light of the dawn break by this tree. Williams celebrated it in Y Dderwen Gam (‘The Crooked Oak’): a protest poem against since abandoned plans to flood this area. Follow in Waldo's footsteps and enjoy the light of the estuary from the bench there, before travelling on to Picton Castle to visit Picton Art Gallery, which holds regular art exhibitions.
