Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is Britain's only truly coastal national park, and stretches from Poppit Sands in the north, all the way round St Brides Bay to Amroth in the south. It also heads inland to encompass the amazingly beautiful Preseli Hills and idyllic Gwaun Valley. This is a truly spectacular landscape of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills, a place of sanctuary for wildlife and people.

Indeed people have shaped the landscape over countless centuries, with tombs such as Pentre Ifan, strongholds such as Picton Castle and Carew Castle, crosses and cottages, quarries and quays all serving to illustrate the region’s history and its continuing cultural importance to Wales.

This is an area for enjoying the great outdoors though and those in search of outdoor activity can walk the entire Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, a 186 mile-long National Trail that will reveal some of the UK’s finest scenery, from cliffs crowded with seabirds, out to sea and the region’s famous marine life – dolphins, whales and more, to inland vistas of the Preselis.

Biking routes, such as the Celtic Trail, abound and the new sport of coasteering is taking off too. There’s diving, sailing and boat trips to enjoy along with some of the best surfing in the UK – check out the big waves of Newgale, Freshwater West and Whitesands.

Head to the pretty walled town of Tenby, visit the tiny cathedral city of St Davids, shop for antiques in classy Narberth or enjoy sea-views at Solva – wherever you travel you are sure to find something of interest to see or do in Pembrokeshire. A playground for lovers of the great outdoors.
