Time out walking in nature and the elements is always good for me, even if the thought of leaving the house is stressful. Once I’m out and as long as it’s not busy, I am happy.
We are very lucky to have the Welsh coastal path near us and both my husband and I enjoy exploring the path together.
this weekend saw us take a reasonably gentle walk on the Pembrokeshire coastal path to see the Witches Cauldron.

We were lucky enough to see a falcon fly away down the road as we arrived and again fly across the road as we parked. This was just the start of the nature we would get to see on the walk. Along the way we saw A Cormorant, Great black backed gull, other gulls and a seal chilling in the sea.

Taking the path from the car park up the hill and heading west we were struck by the awe-inspiring beauty that unfolded before us. From the large sea cave with its thunderous roar to the stacks that look like sharks teeth pointing up through the sea. Walking further around the path you are then struck by an amazing tall stack that reminded me of a unicorns horn twisting as it stands tall before you, home to several gulls taking shelter from the incoming rains, sweeping across the Irish Sea. This makes the perfect place to stop, breathe in the salt air, sounds of the crashing waves, gulls and thunderous sea cave, and enjoy a drink of irn bru. Looking further west, you can make out the headland of Fishguard bay being drenched by the incoming rains.
 
As we follow the path we come to a downhill part with a narrow ridge, this is the top of the arch of the cave that leads into the Witches Cauldron. The path winds downwards, over a wee bridge and around to the entrance to the sea cave that leads you into the cauldron. When the tide is out you can climb down and swim through. Although from September to end of November this isn’t allowed due to it being a seal pupping area. On the climb up and back to the car we got to witness the Stena Line ferry leave port through the mist, just like the galley out of the Goonies film. Looking eastwards the cliff formations are spectacular with their varying colours and folds and at Ceibwr bay the cliff face looks like an old man’s face.
