Abermawr

The cliffs at Abermawr rise up sudden and dramatic from the Pembrokeshire coast, all red sandstone and weathered stone faces that look properly impressive after you've driven through the quiet lanes near Haverfordwest. This is a working quarry landscape turned natural wonder - the old extraction sites have created these towering vertical walls that climbers absolutely love, but walkers find the views across Cardigan Bay equally compelling without needing ropes.

You can walk right down to the beach itself, which is small and rocky, the sort of spot that feels genuinely off the beaten path even though it's accessible. The rock formations are the real draw here - they photograph brilliantly, especially in low sun, and geology enthusiasts will spend hours spotting the different strata and erosion patterns.

It's not a day-long attraction. Allow two hours maximum, including a potter about and a sit-down with a view. Families with younger kids might find it a bit limited - there's not a great deal to do once you've admired the cliffs and maybe braved the beach, which can be properly choppy. Walkers and climbers, though, will rate it highly.

Free to visit, as far as anyone knows. The nearby camps - Preseli Glamping is barely a mile away, and Trellyn Woodland sits just under two - make this a natural pit-stop during a broader Pembrokeshire coastal tour. The weather can turn quickly here, so pick a clear day if you can.
