Old stone field boundaries on Crincoed Point An isolated pocket of the coast, by-passed by the main Pembrokeshire Coast Path and therefore quiet and packed with wildlife; larks, wagtails, stonechats.

Part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path Yes, that little grey figure down there is a walker ahead of me on the coastal path, no doubt also enjoying this section of varied coastline, even if the harmless St. Mark's flies are thick in the air, the gorse tugs at your clothing and small loose stones slip under your boots.

Monument stone on Carregwastad Point An ideal place for a rest, a brew, something to eat and a chat with some Aussie backpackers doing the whole Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a couple with huge rucksacks and an indomitable Aussie spirit to match.

Beach flotsam below Carregwastad Point I had seen a grey seal bottling in Aber Felin cove here and scanning the beach for other seals I spied what appears to be a large portion of dead pony. A grey pony seems to have fallen down the very steep gully above this beach and either been injured or trapped on the beach (though I can't believe that if this was the case that a rescue wasn't attempted) and subsequently died. Gulls were interested in the carcase and vulture-like hopped on and off, chased each other and generally set off a macabre scene.

On Carregwastad Point The memorial marks the invasion on 22 February 1797 by a small French force. It is difficult to work out what they hoped to achieve, landing in such a remote spot, though they no doubt assumed that it would take some time for a defending army to be sent there. However they appear to have been a somewhat ill-disciplined bunch, for it is said that they got drunk and surrendered to the local population two days later!
