Official information

Carn Llidi is a prominent hill located in Pembrokeshire, known for its stunning coastal views and hiking trails. Visitors can enjoy a variety of walking routes that lead to the summit, which features some mild scrambling and offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape.

From the Wikipedia article

Carn Llidi is a hill east of St David's Head in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Carn Llidi and its surrounding area is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The 594 feet (181 m) rocky hill stands in a prominent and isolated position dominating Whitesands Bay. On clear days, there are views west towards Ramsey Island and the Bishops and Clerks islets, and north towards Strumble Head; on clear evenings, in mid-summer at sunset, glimpses of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.
