How to Find Nolton Haven

Free parking can be found next to the Mariners Inn, opposite the bay. There is also a bus stop here.

The cliffs and loose rocks at the side of the bay can be investigated to find wood impressions in sandstone and small pieces of coal.

To view the best plant fossils, take the cliff top path that leads to the north. Along the way you will see some beautiful coastal features that help to make the Pembrokeshire coast line so special. Follow the path until you see a rock formation that can only be described as looking like the cartoon dog ‘Snoopy’s head (aka Rickets Head). Below this there are large sandstone and shale boulders on the surface of which plant fossils can be observed.
