Ogof Penglog Strumble Head

The coastal path near Strumble Head is where you'll stumble across Ogof Penglog - a modest sea cave that's worth a detour if you're already hiking this stretch of Pembrokeshire coast. It's not some vast cathedral of rock; it's a straightforward cave tucked into the cliffs with decent views back along the headland. The walk to reach it from Strumble Head itself is fairly gentle, though you're always aware of the drop to your right.

Historically, this spot has pulled in its share of intrigue - local folklore and shipwreck stories add a bit of colour to what's essentially a geological curiosity rather than a jaw-dropping spectacle. The real draw is the setting: standing at the mouth looking out across Cardigan Bay on a clear day beats sitting in a museum any day. Older children won't mind the scramble down; younger ones might find it a bit tedious without someone making it an adventure story.

If you're based at Trellyn Woodland Camping, it's about an hour's drive to Strumble Head, making it a solid morning or afternoon outing combined with the broader coastal walking around here. Access is free, naturally - it's a cave - and you can spend as little as twenty minutes poking about or stretch it into a longer clifftop walk. Best visited on a decent day; this coast can turn bleak and windy fast. Don't expect crowds or facilities. It's proper honest outdoors, which is rather the point.
