Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire is a county of outstanding and unparalleled natural beauty. A largely rural area, the county retains a relaxed way of life and offers something to suit everyone’s tastes.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was Wales’ first national park and exists to protect the county’s unspoilt coastline. The south of the county boasts white sand beaches and sweeping sand dunes while dramatic sea cliffs and scenic bays make up the county’s northern coasts.
Pembrokeshire is a walkers’ paradise. The coast path, which is always kept in pristine condition by the national park, provides hundreds of miles of walking opportunity. Whether your after a gentle stroll along Whitesands Beach, or a week-long hike it’s right on your doorstep, and a watering hole to quench your thirst is never far away.
The area of North Pembrokeshire around Treiago Farm has some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK. The blue-flagged Whitesands Bay is a popular family beach because of its safe swimming and clean white sand. It is also regarded as one of Wales’ top surf-spots and attracts surfers from all over Britain. Look a little harder and discover some of the many other secluded beaches and harbours that punctuate the coastline.
