Attractions Green Bridge of Wales – One of Pembrokeshire’s most famous geological features, formed by the sea cutting through a narrow headland. Stack Rocks – Two limestone pillars, once part of another arch which has now collapsed. In spring and summer they are covered in guillemots, razorbills and other seabirds. Iron Age forts – Built over 2,000 years ago, these forts would have looked out over a wooded valley. Sea levels have risen since then forming the Bristol Channel as we see it today. Huntsman’s Leap – A narrow steep-sided inlet, formed by sea erosion along a fault line in the cliff. 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. St Govan’s Chapel – This tiny chapel is reached by a steep, uneven flight of steps. The chapel dates from the 13th century but its foundations are thought to be much older. Below the chapel is a well, believed to cure eye problems, rheumatism and lameness. |
