A picture of Lydstep, in the county of Pembrokeshire

Skrinkle Haven and Church Doors are two neighbouring small coves separated by a limestone headland, which looks as if it might have been built as a wall between the two beaches . Access to both beaches is via a flight of steep stone steps down to Church Doors adjacent to the National Park Coastal Footpath . At very low tide it is possible to get round the seaward end, and there is also a way through a narrow and slippery cave which pierces the ridge, ending up in a rock pool. Before planning to visit, check out the tide times to make sure you’ve plenty of beach to play on and that you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide .
