Telpyn Point - Border Country.

Telpyn Point with Worm's Head in the far distance.

Following the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path eastwards from Amroth, or alternatively a short woodland walk from a conveniently-placed lay by, you will reach an unmanned border crossing - a wooden bridge over a small stream that constitutes the border between Carmathenshire and Pembrokeshire.

Keep walking for a short distance and you will reach Telpyn Point and enjoy one of the most spectacular coastal views in all of south Wales. On a clear day the panarama can stretch from Caldey Island to Worm's Head, with Tenby, Saundersfoot and Wiseman's Bridge all thrown in for good measure. It will also be one of your few chances to see cliff dwelling birds in Carmarthenshire.

The unmanned border crossing between Carmathenshire and Pembrokeshire.

The more adventurous can keep walking along the clifftops to Top Castle. This is an Iron-age hill fort built to take advantage of this commanding location and from where, perhaps some time in the dim and distant past, the local residents first stood and watched the sails of Roman ships ominously rounding Worm's Head before sailing up the Burry Estuary to their new-built fort at Loughor.
