One of Wales' best known pub crawls is shrinking as many of its watering holes are closing down.
The Mumbles Mile, near Swansea, was famous for its concentration of seafront bars, but only seven remain write the BBC
Others are boarded up or have become restaurants and there are now plans to turn one of the largest, The Famous Bear, which shut last year, into flats.
Some locals have welcomed the change, saying the village has now become more of a family resort.
Until recently, the Mumbles Mile consisted of about a dozen pubs stretching along the seafront from the White Rose in the village square to The Pilot on the approach to Mumbles pier. It was and still is a very popular destination for stag do's.
