Triple Stone is a small uninhabited island located off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Also known as Ynys Tair, it is situated in St Bride's Bay, approximately 1.5 kilometers from the mainland. The island is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife.

Triple Stone is characterized by its three prominent rock stacks, which give the island its name. These stacks are composed of sandstone and rise dramatically from the surrounding sea. The tallest stack stands at approximately 20 meters high, creating a striking and picturesque sight.

The island is accessible by boat, either through privately organized trips or by kayak, and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. The surrounding waters of Triple Stone are home to a rich marine ecosystem, making it a haven for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts who can explore the vibrant underwater world teeming with marine life.

Visitors to Triple Stone can also enjoy birdwatching opportunities, as the island is a known breeding ground for seabirds such as razorbills, guillemots, and kittiwakes. The cliffs and caves provide nesting sites for these birds, creating a unique and important habitat.

Due to its remote and secluded location, Triple Stone offers a tranquil and serene environment, ideal for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its natural beauty, rugged coastline, and abundant wildlife make it a hidden gem in the Pembrokeshire landscape, attracting visitors from near and far.

Great Castle Head

Great Castle Head from the bottom corner of the wall that is just inside this grid square at SM 847 059. I think the brickwork that can be seen must be the remains of a pill box.

The crab bridge Sandy Haven Pill

This bridge and stepping stones on the coast path have been used by generations of children to collect crabs. The bridge is only above the tide for around 2 hours either side of low tide.
