St Catherine's Island, Tenby, Pembrokeshire
THE ROCK OF DAWNLimited Edition Print *
Sker Rock and St Catherine's Rock, Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales
St Catherine's Island (Welsh: Ynys Catrin) is a small tidal island linked to Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales, by Castle beach at low tide. The island, which is known colloquially as St Catherine's Rock, is the location of St Catherine's Fort. The area directly in front of the island is known as the Catterns.
For many centuries a tiny church was the only building on the Island. The remains of the church were demolished when the fort was constructed in 1867.
Formed from an outcrop of limestone, on average 25m high, the island is riddled with tidal caves. The island is approximately 200m long and 60m wide.
St Catherine's Island is tipped by the small Sker Rock, which sits just below the rising sun in the image.
