Castlemartin Coast SPA

Castlemartin Coast is located on the south coast of Pembrokeshire. Here 20 km of rocky coast with sea cliffs of Carboniferous Limestone hosts an internationally important population of Chough. Behind the cliff edges, species-rich maritime grasslands occur in front of maritime heath that in turn grades into Gorse scrub in more sheltered situations. Rough winter grazing by sheep and cattle maintains the character of the maritime grasslands, which provide feeding areas for Chough.
