More about this scene
This is the westerly end of Lydstep Cavern Beach; here we see the aptly named Saddle Back and Saddle Point, with the cave and fissures worn into the vertical strata of limestone. THE PEMBROKESHIRE coastline is dramatic and beautiful, and its geological features have been popular with holiday makers over the centuries. An excursion to experience the coastal splendour first hand would have been a common activity for those interested in the natural world, and various modes of transport would have been employed to get there: boat, train, charabanc, cart or carriage, and, of course, on foot. In order to avoid being cut off by the rising tide, walkers making their way from Tenby to Lydstep Cavern Beach were being advised to depart for their destination two hours before low tide.
