Castell Bach, (“Little Castle”) is an interesting little cove with a Celtic iron age hillfort which sits on the plateau overlooking the cove. Although there is little to see of the “castle” today it is still a great spot to take in the scenery.

The beach has an enclosed feel to the rear are high grassy cliffs, while the seaward side is dominated by a rocky knoll, which never quite becomes an island. There are some striking folded strata to be seen on this rock.
