Broad Haven (south) to Stackpole Head

Just east of Broad Haven and Saddle Point is Box Bay with well developed sea-caves at its eastern end. Can you see the climbers? The rocks are Carboniferous Limestone.

Box Bay is sometimes known as Sandy Pit Bay (after the doline just inland of the bay). Neither names are used on the Ordnance Survey maps.

The headlands of Mowingword and Stackpole Head are at the far right.

This is a panoramic view consisting of two landscape photos sticthed together using Photshop software. Also taken using a polarising filter. I'm pleased with how the clouds have turned out.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path from St Govan's to the Green Bridge of Wales

At Bullslaughter Bay, the Dinantian age Carboniferous Limestone Series has been eroded along a series of angular folds and fractures, forming a set of sea caves and sea stacks. The main structure is the Bullslaughter Bay syncline, the axis of which runs from near the caves in the centre of the photo, crossing the sandy beach towards the rocks on the right.

Some of the fractures are filled with orange-brown, angular brecciated sediment ('Collapse Breccia'), thought to be of Triassic age.

The flat landform topography represents the '200 foot platform' - a Tertiary age marine erosion surface.

At Bullslaughter Bay, the Dinantian age Carboniferous Limestone Series has been eroded along angular folds and fractures into a series of sea caves and sea stacks. The main structure is the Bullslaughter Bay syncline, the north-dipping limb of which is visible to the right of the centre.
