Pont y Geist is a small island located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The island is situated in the Teifi Estuary, near the town of Cardigan. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, offering visitors a tranquil retreat away from the bustling city life.

Covered in lush greenery and surrounded by sparkling blue waters, Pont y Geist is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The island boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatching. Visitors can also explore the island's rich marine life by taking part in activities such as fishing, kayaking, and boat tours.

The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway, which can be accessed during low tide. This causeway provides a unique opportunity for visitors to walk across and explore the island's picturesque landscapes. During high tide, the causeway is submerged, creating a sense of isolation and seclusion on the island.

Pont y Geist is also home to a small lighthouse, which adds to the island's charm. The lighthouse, perched on a rocky outcrop, offers panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and is a popular spot for photographers.

Visitors can enjoy picnicking, hiking, or simply relaxing on the island's sandy beaches, taking in the breathtaking views. Pont y Geist truly offers a peaceful and idyllic escape for those seeking solace in nature.

Ramsey Island cave Not sure if this is Ogof Tywood or Ogof Organ. The rock here is a metamorphic sandstone with strata at what looks to be about a 70 degree incline. According to our guide this distortion is due to the igneous intrusion to the south which is now Carnllundain.
