A good forecast, so off to explore a new area of coast. We parked in Dale, at the entrance to Milford Haven and went in a clockwise direction around the headland. A varied walk, starting off through deep lanes with lush vegetation, then coves, clifftop and beaches. The highlight was the geology though! ..See the photos below...we also had a couple of late summer butterflies, plenty of acrobatic Choughs, a white wagtail and a Devil's Coach Horse Beetle. There was also a lovely rusty piece of ship - but that will be another blog.
