From neolithic times to the Iron Age - a walk rich in history
|
|
Look out for: Iron Age Promontary Fort, St Brides Castle and Church
There are many hut circles where flints and pottery have been found in this area. On Nab Head there was even a Neolithic flint factory, and at Tower Point a large Iron Age promontory fort. Two sides of the fort are protected by steep and dangerous cliffs and the approach is defended by a bank and a ditch. There are good views out to Skomer, a National Nature Reserve celebrated for its bird colonies, and back along the coast to St Davids Head. St Brides Castle is actually a nineteenth century baronial country mansion with a castellated outline and 93 acres of mature parkland. The tiny church of St Brides stands on the edge of St Brides Haven overlooking the sea.
