The place

Pwll is a small coastal village, located between Llanelli and Burry Port, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Situated on a narrow ledge above the tidal Burry Estuary, the village offers panoramic views across the water to the Gower Peninsula and is traversed by the Millennium Coastal Path, a thirteen-mile traffic-free greenway connecting Bynea to Pembrey. Pwll gained historical significance on 17 June 1928 when pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart landed nearby after completing the first transatlantic flight by a woman, an achievement now commemorated by a blue plaque along the coastal path.
