Ah now this is one of the must see places in Wales. Situated in the Castlemartin MOD base and training area. It is always worth checking times and your dates before going as sometimes it’s used for military training purposes. A quick google of Castlemartin Firing times will bring up the times of any firing. Pay close attention to the signs saying do not pick anything up that looks like it may explore and kill you. It will. So stick to the paths. Anyway. Venture down the steps to a magical place where St Govan, the hermit lived and worshipped. It’s a beautiful tiny church built into the cliff side. It is tranquil with just the sea for company. It is less that 2 mins from car park. The steps are steep, worn and you would struggle if you had problems with your legs or little ones so be careful. Also the cliffs have no railings. It’s a one way ticket to sleepy town if you slip so be careful. One of the wonders of Wales. Simply beautiful

A great place to relax and enjoy the scenery, turn off your phone and get away from all of life's little hassles. The wildlife changes all the time up here, I have never seen cows this close to the cliffs before. A very pleasant surprise. There is free parking available, with plenty of spaces.

This place is breathtaking. The views, wow . Sometimes on your visit you may see people climbing the rocks 🪨 always fascinating. Can get a little breezy even in summer. The Chapel is worth the walk down the steps to see. Take care on steps as they are shallow and step. Worth it though. No toilets here. No picnic site. Not a problem eating picnic in car with these views. Summer months an icecream 🍦 van there. No hot drinks. Can get very busy especially bank holidays . My favourite time to visit is winter, when it's blowing and cold. The views are just as stunning.

What an incredible spot! Down the stairs, into the house, view the sea from the old window, and walk through and explore the rocky cove and see the breathtaking scenary. Would love to live there!

Incredible coastline and very accessible, several car parks near to points of interest such as the Green bridge or st Govan’s chapel.
