Cull Point is a prominent headland located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Situated on the southwestern coast of the country, it is known for its stunning coastal scenery and dramatic cliffs.

The headland is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline and the Irish Sea. These cliffs are formed from layers of sedimentary rocks, including sandstone and shale, which have been sculpted over time by the relentless force of the ocean waves.

Cull Point is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The area is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including seabirds such as puffins, gannets, and razorbills, which nest in the cliffs. Visitors can often spot seals and dolphins swimming offshore, adding to the area's natural charm.

The headland is accessible by foot, with a network of coastal paths and trails that lead visitors to Cull Point. These paths offer a chance to explore the surrounding countryside, including fields, woodlands, and picturesque valleys. The area is also dotted with secluded coves and sandy beaches, providing opportunities for coastal walks and beachcombing.

Cull Point holds historical significance as well, with remnants of Iron Age settlements and ancient burial sites found in the vicinity. The headland's strategic location overlooking the sea made it a site of interest during various periods of history, and remnants of fortifications can still be seen.

Overall, Cull Point is a captivating coastal feature that combines natural beauty, wildlife, and historical significance, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Pembrokeshire coast.
