Pwll Y Wrach Witches' Cauldron Walk
This circular walk visits Pwll Y Wrach (or the Witches' Cauldron) on the Pembrokeshire coast.
The walk starts from the parking area at Ceibwr Bay. Follow the Pembrokeshire Coast Path west from here and it will take you to the site. Here you encounter one of Pembrokeshire’s most striking natural features—a collapsed sea cave formed by the relentless action of the waves picking away at soft, crumbling shale and sandstone along a fault line. The cauldron still connects to the sea, and during high tide or rough weather its turbulent, bubbling waters evoke the image of an ancient, mystical cauldron steeped in local folklore. The surrounding coastal cliffs and folded rock strata add to the sense of geological drama, offering an unforgettable vista where nature’s raw power is on full display.
You can then follow country lanes back to the car park to form a circular walk.

Pwll-y-wrach (Witch's Pit or Cauldron)
Mouth of the Witch's Cauldron. The opening through which the sea enters the Cauldron, the collapsed cave system hollowed out by the sea. Usually this is a site of swirling waves and surging surf but on a calm afternoon at low tide the area is accessible and a picture of tranquillity.
Cave at Traeth Bach. The walk is also a celebration of the region’s rich flora and fauna. In spring and early summer, the coastal path is enlivened by an abundance of wildflowers such as gorse, heather, and sea anemones that burst into vibrant colours against the rugged backdrop. Seabirds, including fulmars, razorbills, and on occasion the rare chough, nest along the cliff edges, while seals can often be seen at play on the rocks below. The diverse coastal heathland and maritime grassland support a variety of native plants and insects, ensuring that every step of the journey is filled with the quiet, captivating life of the Pembrokeshire shore.
