Flimston Bay
Highlight • Beach
South-facing, so it picks up the best of the sunshine and the cliffs surrounding the beach offer protection from cross winds.
At low tide the sand has some interesting rock formation and nearby there are numerous caves, blowholes, rock arches and sea stacks.
On the headland just west of the beach is a huge collapsed sea cave known as the Cauldron where the swirling seas can be seen from above crashing into through the cave mouth.

St Govan's Chapel
Highlight • Historical Site
Whilst the exact history is unclear, St Govan was an Irish Abbott living in the 6th century. According to legend, Govan was on his way to Wales when Irish pirates attacked him. Govan ran to the cliffside and the rocks miraculously transformed into a secret cave that concealed him. After his attackers left, he remained in the cave and, as thanks to God, set up a monastic hermitage. He remained there for the rest of his life, surviving solely on the nature around him.
