Path Near Penlan Oleu Once the main track to the settlement of eight cottages, it is now only accessible to walkers but one gets the feeling that it is quite ancient. Bounded on both sides by large boulders (some are quite immense). On the horizon is the sea and the harbours of Fishguard and Goodwick
