Ynys Lochtyn, Rock formation in Ceredigion, Wales
The sandstone rock formation features high grass-topped plateau and steep cliffs rising into Cardigan Bay, creating a natural coastal landscape.
The National Trust manages this geological structure, which received protection as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its geological significance.
Local climbing groups have developed numerous routes across the rock faces, adding names like Beaj Iskis and The Day the Balloon Went Up.
Access to the formation requires following the Ceredigion Coast Path during low tide, with a steep descent leading to sea level through natural caves.
The location hosts the largest population of bottlenose dolphins in the United Kingdom, frequently visible from the rock formation's vantage points.
