Carningli, above Newport, Pembrokeshire

The view from Carningli in heather season. Carningli is part of the Preseli hills and stands above the town of Newport. With great views from the top over Newport bay and Dinas Island. In the autumn the heather creates a beautiful purple blanket around the lichen covered rocks. Fans of the books of Brian John will recognise Carningli as Angel Mountain from the series of books http://www.angel-mountain.info/
