Rickets Head Black Cliff Colliery tip and Newgale

Rickets Head Black Cliff Colliery tip and Newgale
Nolton Haven to Newgale
The small Nolton-Newgale coalfield is separated by faulting from the main Pembrokeshire coalfield. It lies mostly within Pennant Sandstone Formation of the Upper Coal Measures rocks.

This northward view from the coast path from Rickets Head shows Newgale Sands in the background. On the right of the photo, behind the fence is a spoil heap in the vicinity of the shaft of Black Cliff (Rickets Head) Colliery which worked the Black Cliff Vein.

Annemarie, Nautilus have particularly liked this photo
