The next 600m is quite level, the path then follows a series of moderate rises and falls until it reaches Black Point where the slopes are steeper.  Black Point  is a promontory fort which is slowly falling into the sea

This walk provides great views of St Brides Bay where gannets can often be seen diving for fish.  On a clear day Grassholm Island can be seen.

The walk is on high cliffs, although the path is mostly well away from the edge.
