Penally is just a short hop from the popular seaside resort of Tenby and gives access to some glorious coastline. Nearby Giltar Point is particularly scenic, with views out to Caldey Island and even to the distant island of Lundy on clear days. Penally's limestone cliffs are home to razorbills, fulmars and various species of gull – a real treat for birders.

This exceptional, intricately engraved Celtic cross, measuring an impressive 13ft/4m tall, is seen as a memorial to a fallen Welsh king. A Latin inscription on the base of the monument has been translated as 'The cross of Margiteut, son of Etguin', which is thought to be a reference to Mareddud, a descendant of lawgiver Hywel Dda, who ruled the ancient kingdom of Deheubarth and in 1035 died in battle. In addition to the inscription, extensive patterns of knots and braids are carved into the cross. (Cadw)
