'Blue Lagoon' Abereiddi, Pembrokeshire

'Blue Lagoon' Abereiddi, Pembrokeshire
The 'Blue Lagoon' is the flooded lower section of an abandoned 'slate' quarry at Abereiddi bay, Pembrokeshire.

The rock is not true slate (a metamorphic rock) but thinly bedded black shales (Caerhys Shale) which span the Llanvirnian-Llandeilian junction in the Ordovician. On the right of the photo the quarry wall exposes the volcanic Abereiddi Tuff Member.
