Information about Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire is one of the most spectacular and beloved counties in the British Isles, a peninsula of extraordinary coastal beauty, ancient history and a landscape so distinctive and so rewarding that it draws visitors back year after year with a loyalty that few other destinations in Wales can match.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only truly coastal national park in England and Wales, encompasses almost the entire coastline of the county in a succession of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, sandy beaches and offshore islands that together represent one of the finest coastal landscapes in Europe. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, winding for nearly two hundred miles around the peninsula, passes through scenery of constantly changing drama and beauty and is widely regarded as one of the greatest coastal walks in the British Isles.
The beaches are among the finest in Wales and rival anything the broader British Isles can offer. Barafundle Bay, accessible only on foot, is consistently rated among the most beautiful beaches in the country, while Whitesands, Marloes Sands and Freshwater West each offer their own distinct character and a quality of sand and sea that draws visitors throughout the year. The south of the county in particular, sheltered from the prevailing Atlantic winds, enjoys a mild climate that gives Pembrokeshire an almost Mediterranean feel on a warm summer’s day.
The offshore islands add a further and extraordinary dimension to the county’s appeal. Skomer and Skokholm are among the most important seabird breeding sites in the British Isles, their cliffs and burrows home to vast colonies of puffins, Manx shearwaters and razorbills that represent one of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles in Wales. Ramsey Island, off St Davids Head, supports a large population of grey seals and offers superb wildlife watching throughout the year.
St Davids, the smallest city in Britain, sits at the tip of the peninsula in a landscape of ancient sanctity and windswept beauty. Its magnificent cathedral, set in a hollow below the city to hide it from Viking raiders, is one of the most moving and historically significant religious buildings in Wales, a place of pilgrimage for fifteen hundred years and a destination of profound and lasting appeal. Tenby, the county’s most visited town, is a place of painted Georgian houses, medieval walls, sandy beaches and a harbour of genuine charm that makes it one of the most attractive seaside towns in Wales.
Whether you are looking for a coastal walking holiday on the Coast Path, a wildlife break watching puffins on Skomer, a family beach holiday at Tenby or a pilgrimage to the ancient cathedral city of St Davids, Pembrokeshire is a county of breathtaking beauty and enduring appeal that fully justifies its reputation as one of the finest destinations in the British Isles.
