Chough nesting restrictions on certain routes. Range East is also MoD — generally closed weekdays during firing; check the live firing-times link before going.
Iconic Pembroke headland by the St Govan's car park — non-tidal classics on solid south-facing limestone. Tactician (HVS), The Arrow (E1), Deranged (E2), Space Cadet (E3). Bakes in summer sun.
