Coetan Arthur (Chambered Tomb) — Fieldnotes

Visited 30.6.10.
Seen on the horizon when approaching St David's Head Camp along the costal footpath. However, as you get closer it disappears from sight. Before you get to St David's Camp there is a very small 'path' up the steep bank off to the right. This is near the small cove you pass on your left. Up the 'path' to the top and you will see the tomb. An easier but longer way is to walk from St David's Camp along the headland. However, taking this route you only see the tomb when you are pretty much right on top of it. Lovely costal views to be had and the capstone is tall enough to sit under, although the tomb was not as big as it looked from a distance.

St David's Head Camp (Cliff Fort) — Fieldnotes

Visited 30.6.10.
I parked at the Whitesands Beach car park (charge) and took a lovely 30 minute walk up to the hillfort. It was a beautiful summer's morning and was 'picture postcard' perfect. The sun was warm, the sand white and the sea crystal clear - wonderful. Makes you feel good to be alive. Be careful when walking along the costal path as it is right next to the cliff edge at places with no fences and a deadly drop! There are stone ramparts remaining in places about 8ft high - collapsed walls to the front. It goes without saying there are great costal views.
