West Angle Bay

Sheep are just psychotic.
Catherine Hardwicke

After a bit of shouting and stamping of the feet, we finally persuaded the Sheep Lord to stand down and let us pass. Nevertheless, as we passed, he never let down his guard. We also kept vigilant as he looked dangerous and seemed ready for blood.

A good deal of tyranny goes by the name of protection.
Crystal Eastman

We build houses, forts and castles to keep people in, or to keep people out. They are built for protection and they are built to show strength. They are built to defend against enemies, but in the end, they almost always fail.

This blockhouse, the east blockhouse, was never completed. For more information, check out this webpage:

Never trust sheep.
Ryan Stiles

Tis true...I have been known to feel this exact same thing. And, although I would also agree with the quote "It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life" by Elizabeth Kenny, I do have reservations.

I can't say I felt true fear when confronted by this solitary sheep, but I was inclined to pause when his language of the body reached my mind with a completely understandable "None shall pass!" command.

Sheep get a raw deal. I'm a small man, so I can understand their plight. We idolize the lion, the bear, and the eagle. We make statues of butchers, murderers and tyrants and call them heroes. We mock the sheep and make them symbols of the weak who seem afraid of the butchers, but this alpha male wasn't going to back down. He was there to protect the flock and I am sure would have fought us if we intended to do anything other than continue on our hike. I respect that.

Popular places to visit

Freshwater West

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Freshwater West during your trip to Angle?

West Dale Beach is secluded and only accessible by walking over the fields from the village. It faces west into the Irish Sea, so it can be flat calm or the waves can be driven crashing onto the beach by a strong westerly. Great location for sunset photography.

Marloes Sands

5/5(20 reviews)

Marloes Sands is a remote beach on the southernmost tip of Pembrokeshire in South Wales.

Skinner is a great place for bird watching. The number of daily visitors is limited to protect the environment, so it's not always possible to get there. On Monday late June we recorded 36 species.

Skomer

4.5/5(30 reviews)

Skomer is an island just off the coast of Pembrokeshire in south-west Wales. It is about a mile and a half long from north to south and two miles wide from east to west, formed of volcanic rocks, with sheltered bays, looming headlands and sheer cliffs.

Pembroke Castle

4.5/5(43 reviews)

Pembroke Castle is the birthplace of the first Tudor king and has enough graceful majesty to more than match its place in history. The 11th century fort is packed full of surprises and won't fail to amaze first-time visitors to this gorgeous corner of Wales.
