User reviews
"There is an abundance of captivating history to be discovered at this location! As a matter of fact, it is believed to be the oldest church in all of Wales! The breathtaking scenery that surrounds this coastal site is truly remarkable, and I highly recommend visiting if you have an appreciation for historical landmarks."
Jacob Anderson.
"The beach is a true marvel, a hidden paradise that boasts breathtaking scenery and an idyllic location. What's more, it is home to some of the most ancient fossils on the planet, dating back to the earliest days of life on Earth. It's worth noting, however, that these fossils are of algae, not of larger creatures, so don't expect to find any massive bones hidden in the rocks..."
