Carn Llidi, Rocky hill at St David's Head, Wales
The 181-meter summit of Carn Llidi rises distinctly above Whitesands Bay, forming a prominent landmark visible from multiple locations in Pembrokeshire.
During World War II, Carn Llidi served as a Chain Home Low early-warning radar station, with concrete foundations and a Lewis gun pit remaining on site.
The name Carn Llidi derives from South Welsh language elements, where 'Carn' refers to a rocky outcrop and 'Llidi' translates to ashes.
Visitors can access the summit through a marked trail starting at Whitesands Bay car park, which includes facilities such as restrooms and a café.
The summit area contains multiple neolithic burial chambers and prehistoric enclosures, indicating continuous human presence dating back thousands of years.
