Earthwatcher's photos with the keyword: Mowingword Point

Broad Haven (south) to Stackpole Head Just east of Broad Haven and Saddle Point is Box Bay with well developed sea-caves at its eastern end. Can you see the climbers? The rocks are Carboniferous Limestone. Box Bay is sometimes known as Sandy Pit Bay (after the doline just inland of the bay). Neither names are used on the Ordnance Survey maps. The headlands of Mowingword and Stackpole Head are at the far right. This is a panoramic view consisting of two landscape photos sticthed together using Photshop software. Also taken using a polarising filter. I'm pleased with how the clouds have turned out.

Broad Haven (south) to Stackpole Head The cliffs of Stackpole Head consist of Carboniferous Limestone gently dipping south. There are sea caves and other solution features visible: the prominent bedding plane just below the cliff top displays palaeo-karst pot-hole-like features. Caldey Island is on the centre skyline; Llanmadoc Hill and Rhosili Down on the Gower Peninsula can be seen in the far distance just above the headland.

Broad Haven (south) to Stackpole Head Mowingword Point was very colourful on this beautiful summer's day, with the contrasting orange lichens and purple Viper's bugloss.
