Abercastle is a pretty and quiet village along the Pembrokeshire Coast. Its sheletered cove is ideal for kayaking and the like. It's just a short walk from Carreg Samson, or 'Samon's Stone', a famous example of an exposed Neolithic burial chamber.

A lovely quiet beach

Good starting point for tours along the beautiful coast.

Carreg Samson, a dolmen, lies over Abercastle Bay, near Fishguard. The capstone is approximately 4 1/2 m long and 2.7 m wide. It lies on three of the seven upright support stones. The dolmen was previously covered by a mound of earth or stone. At the beginning of the 20th century, the gaps between the stones were closed so that the dolmen could be used as a sheepfold. The Carreg Samson is a so-called Scheduled Monument.

Abermawr is a pebble beach, backed by earth cliffs. At low tide the sand is revealed along with buried and perfectly preserved tree stumps, the remnants of a forest drowned by a sudden flood.

Approaching Pen Castell-coch from the West (Abercastle) offers a wide grassy approach that avoids the steep slopes from the South (Trefin). The views from here are outstanding, and in spring time, the stone wall is full of wild flowers. Pembrokeshire Coast Path at its beautiful best!

Short steep climb from Abercastle, just off the coastal path.

Abercastle harbour is a pretty little cove and village, with a sheltered shingle beach that is popular for launching boats and kayaks from. Public toilet facilities and a water top up are available here.
