Coetan Arthur is a Neolithic dolmen, or cromlech, dating back thousands of years, located on the clifftops near St Davids. The site consists of a large capstone balanced on upright stones, once forming a burial chamber. Visitors can walk right up to the monument, touch the ancient stones, and take in sweeping views of the Irish Sea. It's a quiet, windswept spot that invites contemplation of the people who built it. The dolmen is easily accessible via a short walk from the coastal path, making it a rewarding stop for history buffs and hikers alike.
