[164h] Pont-y-terfyn: the bridge of the boundary. The little stream crossed by the bridge divides Carmarthenshire from Pembrokeshire.
[164i] Borrow does not mention Amroth. Possibly the omission was due to the state of the tide which, if near high-water, would keep him close up to the storm-beach, and so curtail his view. This is corroborated by the fact that he proceeded to Saundersfoot by road. Had he been able to walk along the shore, he would have materially shortened his journey.
[164j] Picton Castle Hotel, kept in 1857 by a Mrs. Rees. The Inn is now named Hean Castle Hotel.
[165a] Monkstone.
[165b] St. Catherine’s Rock. Borrow evidently confused this with St. Margaret’s Island, off Caldy Island. The fort which now occupies the top of St. Catherine’s Rock was not built till 1868.
[166a] Presumably Manorbier parish. We have not identified the “half-way house”.
[166b] Lamphey.—Borrow probably thought the name to be a corruption of Llanfair (St. Mary’s). The name is a corruption of Llanffydd (St. Faith’s).
[166c] The proprietor of the Lion Inn in 1857 was a Mr. Jones. There is no record of Borrow’s visit, nor is there at the lodge of Pembroke Castle.
[166d] Pater battery (pronounced “Patter”), near Pembroke Dock. Borrow appears to have crossed Milford Haven by boat (probably from Hobb’s Point) to Neyland, and to have set out on foot via Llanstadwell for Milford; but whether he got as far as Milford that day is doubtful.
[166e] This is ambiguous. Dr. Knapp, in his transcript, suggests in an insertion that Borrow returned to Milford. But there is no evidence that he reached Milford on the 25th, and on studying the notes we conclude that he retraced his steps to Pembroke, and stayed that night (Aug. 25th) at The Lion. Unfortunately there is no record of his visit left at Pembroke. Next day (the 26th) he probably crossed from Hobb’s Point direct to Milford, though he does not say so.
