The harbour of Porthgain was built to ship slate, bricks and granite for use on houses and roads. The English translation of Porthgain is 'Chisel Port', in reference to its quarrying past. This quarry was used for granite and its ruined buildings are an evocative sight above the blue of the Irish Sea.
