This is a lovely walk, but please be aware that it is
almost all on cliff paths, with some steep sections up and down to the
deserted coves. there is no access on or off the path between sages 4
and 7 so packed lunches and drinks are advised.

after few metres turn right by chapel.
Continue along road until you reach Ceibwr Bay

strata produced in the Caledonian period 450 million years ago.) Carry
on along road for short distance to coast path sign on right, go over
stile & follow coast path for about west a mile to dramatic bay known
as the 'Witches Cauldron'. Look out for Gannets, Choughs, Gulls, Fulmars,
Shags, Cormorants, Buzzards, Ravens and Kestrels

and at certain points of the tide the water makes wonderful noises as
it is sucked under the narrow arch of rock).

for seals particularly along this stretch.
5. Foel Goch - Another good place to spot seals and dolphins
from the escarpment above the cliff.

is above a tiny beach from where you can enjoy the sunset or an secluded
swim before the last of the walk into Newport
