The headland is made up of a series of towering cliffs that rise dramatically from the Irish Sea, reaching heights of up to 100 meters.

In addition to its natural beauty, Craig y Creigwyr is also home to a number of historical and archaeological sites. The headland is dotted with ancient burial mounds and standing stones, providing a glimpse into the area's rich history. These sites are a testament to the long-standing human presence in this area and add to the overall allure of the headland.

Overall, Craig y Creigwyr is a captivating coastal feature that offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the stunning natural beauty of Pembrokeshire.
