Pen Caer: Garn Fawr and Strumble Head 

Six historic landscape character areas were identified in the Pen Caer:
Garn Fawr and Strumble Head landscape. These range from the highly exposed
coastal strip with Strumble Head Lighthouse to a ridge of high moorland
on which the stone-built revetments of Garn Fawr Iron Age hillfort are
a dominant feature. Fields divided by dry-stone walls and banks, and dispersed
farms lie between the coast and moorland ridge. Apart from shelterbelts
close to farms it is a virtually treeless landscape. Included is the late
19th century and 20th century industrial harbour and housing development
at Goodwick.
