West Moor Cliff

Standing at 70 metres above the churning waters of the Bristol Channel, this windswept promontory delivers exactly what Pembrokeshire does best - dramatic coastline without the crowds. The walk up from the coastal path takes about 20 minutes of steady climbing, but the payoff is proper spectacular. On clear days, you can see right across to Devon and Somerset, with the imposing silhouette of Lundy Island floating on the horizon.

Families with older children will love the adventure of reaching the top, though keep little ones well back from the edge - there's no barrier and the drop is steep. The cliff face itself is a magnet for seabirds, so bring binoculars if you're into wildlife watching.

What makes West Moor Cliff special is its position on the quieter stretch of coast near Pembroke. Unlike the tourist hotspots further west, you might have this viewpoint entirely to yourself, especially outside summer months. The wind up here can be fierce, so wrap up even on sunny days.

For those staying at nearby sites like Freshwater East Caravan Club or the glamping spots around Pembroke, it's an ideal morning or evening expedition. Allow two hours return from most accommodation, including time to properly take in those views. Well worth the effort.
