Landshipping is a lovely little hamlet on the banks of the eastern Cleddau. It was once a hive of activity, with a busy ferry terminal and coal port operating from the now abandoned quay.
The Garden Pit was the site of a terrible mining disaster in 1844 when the sea broke into the mine workings. 42 people were killed – many of them women and children.
The area is peppered with mine workings and flooded lagoons.

Built around the turn of the 19th century, Landshipping Quay was a busy coal mine port and had tramroads linking it to the pits. One of the mines, Garden Pit, was the site of the 1844 disaster, when the sea broke the wall and flooded the pit, killing 40 workers.
