Carn Gwil Geli is a prominent coastal feature located on the rugged coastline of Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is a headland that juts out into the Celtic Sea, forming a distinct point along the coastline. The name "Carn Gwil Geli" translates to "rock of the white grove" in Welsh, reflecting the area's natural beauty and significance.

The headland is characterized by its towering cliffs, which rise dramatically from the sea below. These cliffs are composed of sedimentary rocks, displaying layers of different geological formations, providing insights into the region's geological history. The headland offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the vast expanse of the ocean.

Carn Gwil Geli is also known for its rich biodiversity. The rocky cliffs provide nesting sites for a variety of seabirds, including guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes. The area is also home to a diverse range of plant species, including hardy coastal grasses and wildflowers.

Visitors to Carn Gwil Geli can explore the headland by following well-marked footpaths that wind along the cliff tops. These paths offer opportunities for hiking and birdwatching, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area. Additionally, the headland is a popular spot for fishing and offers some of the best sea angling opportunities in the region.

Overall, Carn Gwil Geli is a stunning coastal feature that showcases the rugged beauty and natural diversity of Pembrokeshire's coastline. It is a must-visit destination for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat by the sea.

Mother Shipton moth This day-flying moth was seen resting on Thrift as I walked along the coast path between St.Justinian's and Pencarnan. The scientific name Callistege mi roughly translates as 'Beauty with letter m' referring to the 'm' marking on the underside of the hindwing. Early British entemologists named it the Shipton Moth, later Mask Moth because its upperwing markings resembled the face of the 15th Century Yorkshire soothsayer and prophetess Mother Shipton.
