ペンブロークシャーコーストの峡谷・トップ7

The photos don’t do this part of the coastline any justice. The sheer drops are impressive!

You can especially be enchanted by the legend that surrounds this crack in the rock!

The Gwaun Valley is a beautiful landscape where time can feel like it is standing still. Wet woodland, water meadows, and the hill-side woods create habitats nurturing a variety of wildlife. Buzzards, Sparrowhawks and Red Kite are all common sights overhead.

Gorgeously untouched, rugged and beautiful!

Ceibwr is a gorgeous little bay towards the northern end of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The rocky coastline around Ceibwr is wild and dramatic, with many instances of impressive rock scenery. The bay itself is steep sided and was carved in the last Ice Age by surging meltwater forcing its way through what is now the Cwm Trewyddel valley. It's a great spot for wildlife watching. Grey seals can be spotted close by, while porpoises are often sighted offshore.

Beautiful Bay to stop awhile

Compared to nearby Barafundle, few people have heard of the unusually named bay, Mowing Word. Challenging to access on foot, the safest option is to soak up the outstanding views from the cliff top. At low tide the golden sand is punctuated with fantastical rock formations. There are huge caves, a blow hole, countless rockpools and an impressive sea stack in the centre of the beach.

Legend has it that a huntsman urged his horse over the chasm, landed safely, then looked back and dropped dead from shock when he saw what he had jumped over. Huntsman's Leap is a narrow steep-sided inlet, formed by sea erosion along a fault line in the cliff. It offers a good reason to stick to the established path! Another reason not to wander at will is that Huntsman's Leap is on an MOD firing range and is closed to the public at certain times. Call Pembroke Visitor Centre on 01437 776499 to check if the range is open to the public.
