Limeslade Bay, Mumbles

Popped down here for an hour out from the OUGS Symposium in Swansea - various jobs needing doing meant we didn't get out on the official trips. Anyway we drove through Mumbles and parked up near the coastguard and down onto Limeslade Beach where there were some impressive joints in the dipping limestone beds that had been filled by crystalline calcite.

There are joints on both sides of the beach - perhaps part of a larger joint system that facilitated erosion of the bay itself
