View north-eastwards from Carnllundain

This is the view from Carnllundain, Ramsey Island's highest point. Red deer are often seen on the higher land below the summit, whilst sheep graze on the lower-lying land on the east side of the island. In the distance is St David's Head, on the Pembrokeshire mainland.
