Fowborough Point is a prominent coastal feature located on the southwestern coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated near the small village of Angle, this headland juts out into the Celtic Sea, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline.

The point is characterized by its rugged cliffs, which rise up to approximately 100 feet in height, providing a dramatic backdrop against the crashing waves below. The cliffs are composed of sedimentary rock formations, displaying layers of sandstone and shale that have been shaped by erosion over centuries.

At the highest point of Fowborough Point, there is a trig point marking the summit, which is accessible via a moderate hiking trail. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, with its pristine beaches, hidden coves, and diverse marine life.

The coastal area surrounding Fowborough Point is teeming with wildlife, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts. The cliffs provide nesting sites for various seabirds, including razorbills, guillemots, and kittiwakes. Visitors may also be lucky enough to spot seals and dolphins swimming in the waters below.

Fowborough Point is a place of natural beauty and tranquility, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you are a nature lover, outdoor enthusiast, or simply seeking a place to unwind, Fowborough Point is a must-visit destination on the Pembrokeshire coastline.
