The diminutive Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a dramatic area of 225 square miles in southwest Wales, was set aside as a national park in 1952 and comprises a large portion of the Pembrokeshire coast and its islands and the moorland hills of Mynydd Preseli. Rugged cliffs and coastal rock formations are home to boisterous populations of seabirds, porpoises, whales, seals and dolphins. Cycle, hike or sea kayak around the spectacular coastline. Bird watching and rock climbing are also popular.

Owned by the National Trust and part of the amazing Stackpole Estate, 100's of thousands of Brits every year spend a fortune to fly to destinations in search of a beach of this quality. Other than the carbon foot print issue l hope this pattern continues since this will make the pure beauty of this beach and it's neighbouring twin - the one and only world class Barafundle Bay - sustainable for the smart and environmentally friendly family. This is still a treasured secret, as is the cottage we stayed in for the week, which enabled us to walk from our gorgeous holiday home, Wood Cottage, Cheriton Bottom woods, to all the surrounding beaches and the Bosherston Lily Ponds.

My daughter and I spent 3 days riding here (I'm 58, she's 30) and would encourage anyone who likes horses to go for this experience. This team are so well organised and professional that whatever your level of ability and experience they'll have you enjoying yourself and building your confidence. (Group rides are split down to assist with this, and a myriad of support riders means you get lots of support if you need it, and great company if you don't (Ang, Lynn and Jess you were stars - thank you!).) The beach rides are truly fantastic - you won't be disappointed. We were really impressed and hope to return. Local accommodation in the lovely Glebe House - and cracking breakfasts - made it all very relaxing, and as an added bonus, every local eatery we tried for dinner was excellent (especially The Haven).

Our 3 children absolutely loved this beach - great waves for young body boarders and plenty of space for sand castles and rock pooling. There is a 5-10 walk from the large parking field at the top along paths and an ice cream van in the field at the top which helped the motivation back up! Unfortunately, we left our fishnets there so hope next youngsters get to enjoy their use in the rock pools!!

The Welsh coastline has many contrasts and really does offer something for everyone. From cliff top strolls to estuarine wanders, picturesque fishing villages to vibrant cities, industrial heritage to unconquered castles, desolate windswept beaches to bustling seasides. The Wales Coast Path not only takes you through the Welsh landscape, it takes you through its heritage and its communities.The Pembrokeshire section is home to the iconic and world-class landscape of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and wildlife rich islands. The Path (which has National Trail status here) passes through some of Britain's most spectacular and breathtaking scenery, including 58 beaches and 14 harbours and the UK's smallest city - St Davids.
We hiked several sections of the path, all with staggering views and we saw seals and birds, azure waters and wild flowers. So lovely and special. The path from porth clais to porth y ffynnon is amazing.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail twists and turns its way through 186 miles of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in Britain. From St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south, the trail covers almost every kind of maritime landscape from rugged cliff tops and sheltered coves to wide-open beaches and winding estuaries. Lying almost entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park -Britain's only coastal national park - the trail displays an array of coastal flowers and bird life, as well as evidence of human activity from Neolithic times to the present. In its entirety the Coast Path represents a formidable physical challenge - its 35,000 feet of ascent and descent is said to be equivalent to climbing Everest - yet it can also be enjoyed in shorter sections, accessible to people of all ages and abilities, with the small coastal villages strung out along its length offering welcome breaks and added enjoyment. Both the Wales Coast Path [WCP](opened 5th May 2012) and the International Appalachian Trail [IAT](since October 2010) follow the route of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path through Pembrokeshire.
Wonderful walking along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with wonderful spectacular views. There was, during the 2 stints that I walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a couple of days of foul weather. A balanced mixture of ascents and descents while embarking upon the walk

Advanced booking is required - email us now to reserve your llama! Pembrokeshire Llamas trekking centre provides guided llama walks and trekking expeditions throughout the year. Lead one of our haltered llamas on a guided tour through the valley of Rhydwilym.
Our visit to the Pembrokeshire llamas was absolutely fantastic and I just wish I lived closer to be able to enjoy this activity more regularly. After a welcome from our wonderful host Matt and guidance on how to handle your llama you are lead off for a beautiful walk in the wooded valley. There is something unique to leading your own llama. They are delightful with their own individual personalities. I had the pleasure of walking with Max, who with his presence I did not notice any elevated parts of the walk that I normally dislike. My partner was with Merlin who he really enjoyed the trek with. You will come away with a lasting memory, feeling stress free, happy and wanting to go again. Full advise is given re clothing and foot wear prior to your visit.

One of the most magnificent of Britain's castles is the "birth place of the Tudor Dynasty." You can climb the 80ft Great Keep, descend into a pre-historic cave and look down into a prisoner in a medieval dungeon. There is also a cafe and gift shop. During school holidays there are falconry displays, historic re-enactments and family entertainment. The main exhibition rooms display models and weaponry as well as telling the story of the history of the castle. You can also visit the room that King Henry VII the founder of the Tudor Dynasty was born.
We had a great time at Pembroke castle: the castle itself, and it’s history are wonderful and we took a free guided tour with Gareth (“the retired history teacher”) who was absolutely brilliant, full of passion, knowledge and humour. Would definitely recommend anyone who is interested in history visit this castle (and anyone who isn’t normally!) and take advantage of the brilliant tours!
