Carreg Dibryder is a prominent coastal feature located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is known for its impressive headland and point, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the Celtic Sea. The name Carreg Dibryder translates to "unyielding rock" in Welsh, accurately describing the rugged nature of this geological feature.

Situated on the westernmost part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Carreg Dibryder is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The headland rises majestically from the sea, forming a dramatic cliff face that reaches heights of up to 100 meters. This makes it an ideal spot for birdwatching and observing marine life, as it provides a vantage point for spotting seabirds such as razorbills and guillemots, as well as dolphins and seals in the water below.

The headland is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, with the surrounding area being rich in biodiversity. The cliffs are adorned with vibrant wildflowers, including sea thrift and rock samphire, while the adjacent grassy slopes are frequented by grazing sheep and rabbits.

Visitors to Carreg Dibryder can access the headland via a coastal path, which provides a scenic and invigorating walk along the cliff tops. The path offers stunning views of the surrounding coastline, including nearby bays and coves, as well as the historic Strumble Head Lighthouse in the distance.

Overall, Carreg Dibryder is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the natural beauty and diversity of Pembrokeshire's coastline. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a hiker, or simply seeking a peaceful and picturesque spot to admire the sea, Carreg Dibryder is well worth a visit.
