Extract

Pembrokeshire is, on the whole—for Wales—a comparatively low-lying county, a somewhat dissected peneplain not usually rising much above four or five hundred feet above sealevel. Apart from the ragged stacks which rise up above the level of this peneplain in the northern part of the county—Carn Llidi and Pen-berry near St. Davids and the Stramble Head masses near Fishguard, for example—there is only one really prominent feature in the whole Pembrokeshire landscape, the Mynydd Prescelly, which rise near the western end of their ridge above Rosebush to a height of 1,760 feet.
