The Pembrokeshire Coast Path west of Mill Haven This sculpture, the 'rock with the hole', is about 300 metres west of Mill Haven. Looking through the hole, it seemed to be aligned with Carnllundain <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SM6923">SM6923</a>, the high point of Ramsey Island about 16km away, but the alignment was not precise enough for me to tell whether it was deliberate or accidental.
