Note - Before planning to do this walk Call 01646 662367 . This area is used for Military live fire training and the roads towards it are often closed through the week and some weekends.

6pm at St Govan's Chapel. The cloudy day over at Caldey Island became an evening scorcher!

Inside St Govan's Chapel. Noah munching on a snack.. Apparently St Govan's hands are imprinted beneath the floor of the cave that this chapel was built over and that his body is buried under the altar.

Down at the water below the chapel.

 

I told Noah the tide was coming in so he rushed back to the chapel

A nice arch in the distance

 

Climbers making the most of the sunny evening

Walking the cliff edge has its obsticles. Also look out for several blowholes!

Noah really enjoying himself

Huntsman's Leap - Climbers heaven

When the tide is out, it becomes a rather exclusive beach. You just have to get down there.

Many miles of cliff edges. You can easily get close to most of it but beware of some nasty brambles in places.

Noah taking a look back from the path. We were going to run out of daylight so stuck to the path for a while.
