The start of the walk was at the National Trust location at Stackpole Quay. Here in the domain of 4x4's boats can be slipped into the water. |
After walking up onto the headland this shot looks back down onto the small harbour |
A view towards Stackpole Head |
Around the next headland Barafundle Bay comes into view |
Our walk took us behind the beach area through the sandhills. |
Jelly fungus was 'oozing' out of this tree |
a close-up of this strange fungus |
A cinnabar caterpillar |
To my untrained eye - this looks like a Cordulegaster boltonii - Golden-ringed Dragonfly |
The wild flowers in this coastal area are stunning |
The whole area is a lepidopterists paradise. However taking a photo of the many types of butterflies and moths was almost impossible. |
Which way was the prevailing wind? |
This was the small boat that we saw being launched earlier. |
The wild ponys on the headland are seen beyond a yellow carpet of flowers. |
How was it for you dear? |
Fishing just off the headland. |
The 'Smit Penally' - Firing Range safety boat from Milford Haven |
The end of Stackpole Head. |
Walking around to the next headland, Mowingword, reveals the gaps in the headland. |
A view to St Govans Head to the south west |

The wild ponies again |
A puff ball fungus looking like a golf ball |
A shot back to Stackpole head from Saddle Point |
Next Broad Haven beach came into view. |
A variety of Orchid. Which one? let me know. |
From Broadhaven we turned inland towards the lakes at Bosherston |
There were many Orchids of the variety Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) |
As we walked along the footpath I spied this weird pond. It was quite eery. |
This branch was covered in algae.. |
A green glade as we headed back towards the Stackpole Centre |
Over this stunning bridge and straight over the fields back to Stackpole Quay. |
A delightful walk |
