Stack Rocks and The Green Bridge Of Wales Walk

0.7 miles (1.1 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This coastal walk takes you across a section of the undisturbed Castlemartin Range on South Pembrokeshire’s rugged shoreline.
With minimal human interference—owing to its longstanding use as a Ministry of Defence firing range—the area has developed into a haven for both wildlife and unique coastal habitats. Visitors are rewarded with dramatic views of towering limestone features, including the two isolated Stack Rocks and the striking natural arch known as the Green Bridge of Wales.
A designated viewing point here offers sweeping panoramas of the coastline. The walk follows a track that is partly stony and partly carpeted with short, resilient grass. Although some sections can be uneven, the mix of surfaces provides a pleasant alternative as you traverse the area
On the way you can look out for lots of wildlife including guillemots, razorbills, nesting fulmars, kittiwakes, and both herring and black-backed gulls.
You can continue your walking in the area along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Follow it east and you could explore the wonderful Stackpole Estate.

The Green Bridge of Wales

The Green Bridge of Wales. Just a short distance from the car park (and visible from nearby viewpoints), this impressive natural arch rises to about 24 meters (80 feet) in height. Its span of over 20 meters (66 feet) is supported by a more resistant rock pedestal and is uniquely overgrown with vegetation, which gives it its “green” name.

Elegug Stacks or Stack Rocks

Elegug Stacks or Stack Rocks. These two detached limestone pillars, once connected as part of a coastal arch, now stand as dramatic markers along the cliff edge. In spring, the tops and ledges become busy with nesting seabirds.
