Strumble Head
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strumble Head is a rocky headland of Pen Caer in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is home to Strumble Head Lighthouse and gives its name to Strumble VOR, a way point in many trans-atlantic flights.[1]
Strumble head is one of the best sites in the UK to view cetaceans particularly the porpoise which can be spotted in the tidal races around the headland with modest binoculars. Public cetacean watches are frequently organized by Sea Trust[2]. Seals can often be spotted in the waters beneath the light house. A wartime lookout post was converted for use by the public as a shelter from the wind for wildlife fans and was opened by Bill Oddie [3]
A few hundred metres out to sea are two small uninhabited islands, Ynys Onnen and Carreg Onnen, which were put up for sale in 2004.[4]
A French shipwreck, possibly from the Last invasion of Britain was found nearby in 2003. [5]
