Newgale Sands 2

Nolton Haven to Newgale
The small Nolton-Newgale coalfield is separated by faulting from the main Pembrokeshire coalfield. It lies mostly within Pennant Sandstone Formation of the Upper Coal Measures rocks.

Heading north along the coast path from Rickets Head, the open expanse of Newgale Sands and the wide sweep of St Brides Bay dominates view. In this zoomed-in view over Newgale Sands, the pale coloured cliffs in the distance are Pre-Cambrian volcanics, with darker grey Cambrian sediments to the right (above the line of surf).
