Description

The walking track alongside the cliffs and coast provides ample opportunity for seawatching. Northern Gannet can be seen flying and diving off shore, gulls including Great Black-backed Gull are likely and Great Cormorant fly past regularly.

The northern section of the path gives less views of open sea, but includes some sections of trees and vegetation as well as views of Angle Bay and the salt marsh in the harbour there. Expect to find common birds such as European Robin, Blackbird, Song Thrush, etc. Eurasian Treecreeper is also possible.

Alongside the southern path Eurasian Skylark, European Stonechat and Linnet are abundant in summer, and there is a colony of Sand Martin. Both Meadow Pipit and Rock Pipit are likely.

Access

Angle West would be the best carpark to start from making a small loop around to The Old Point for lunch, but a point-to-point along the southern path is also possible incorporating Freshwater West carpark and beach.

The only toilets are at the car parks, and the path, particularly the southern section has a feeling of being very remote. There are no houses or buildings nearby.

The coastal cruiser bus goes between Pembroke and Angle three times per day and could help with planning a point-to-point walk.
