An early-morning walk above Ramsey Sound led me to The Bitches, a rocky reef where fast tides create powerful currents, whirlpools and standing waves. Filmed at sunrise on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with Ramsey Island just across the water, this short film shows the reef from the cliffs and from the air. After spending the night at Rhosson Ganol, I set off without really knowing what I would find around the next corner. The views towards Ramsey Island were beautiful, but it was the unusual rocks and the movement of the water below that caught my attention. The Bitches and Whelps stretch into Ramsey Sound between Ramsey Island and the Pembrokeshire mainland. As the tide moves through the narrow channel, the water around the reef can form strong currents, eddies, whirlpools and standing waves. It is a serious stretch of water and a well-known location for experienced white-water kayakers. I had no idea any of this was here when I set out that morning. Sometimes the places you find by accident are the ones you remember most. 00:00 A sunrise walk from Rhosson Ganol 00:24 First view towards Ramsey Island 00:37 Discovering The Bitches 00:49 Looking across Ramsey Sound 01:09 Why the water becomes turbulent 01:28 An unexpected morning find Have you heard of The Bitches before, or seen the tidal race from the coast or from a boat?

Sometimes the best places are the ones you find when things don't quite go to plan! After a lovely walk exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline, we needed to find somewhere to spend the night in our campervan. Simple enough, you'd think! Unfortunately, finding an available campsite proved rather more difficult than expected. We'd tried several places, everywhere seemed to be booked, and with virtually no mobile phone signal, even checking availability was becoming a challenge. Eventually, we found Rhosson Ganol Caravan and Camping Site, near St Davids in Pembrokeshire, and managed to secure a pitch. And what a place we'd stumbled across! With spectacular views towards Ramsey Island and the surrounding coastline, it turned out to be a wonderful spot to spend the evening. Once we'd settled in, I headed out along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to explore the nearby cliffs and lifeboat station, before getting the drone up to capture the coastline in the beautiful evening light. What started as a frustrating search for somewhere to sleep ended with some of the most memorable scenery of our Wales adventure. Join us for another episode of The Izars, as we explore the stunning Pembrokeshire coast, discover somewhere new and enjoy another unexpected adventure in our campervan. ๐Ÿ“ Locations featured: - Rhosson Ganol Caravan and Camping Site - Ramsey Island (views from the mainland) - St Justinians Lifeboat Station - Pembrokeshire Coast Path - St Davids Peninsula, Pembrokeshire Have you ever struggled to find a campsite when travelling?

With just a couple of hours of daylight left after arriving at Buckspool Farm Campsite, I decided to head out and explore St Govan's Head. What looked like a straightforward walk soon became a much longer adventure after taking a wrong turn, but sometimes getting lost leads to the best discoveries. Join me as I walk part of the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast Path, passing Broad Haven South, dramatic cliffs and breathtaking coastal scenery before reaching St Govan's Head just in time for sunset and some incredible drone footage. Little did I know, I was only minutes away from one of Wales' most remarkable hidden landmarks... but that discovery would have to wait until the following morning. ๐Ÿ“ Locations featured โ€ข St Govan's Head โ€ข Pembrokeshire Coast Path โ€ข Broad Haven South โ€ข Buckspool Farm Campsite โ€ข Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Have you walked this section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path?
