Pembrokeshire,
South Wales, UK |
|
Most of Pembrokeshire encompasses the lovely Pembrokeshire Coast
National Park - the UK's only predominantly coastal national park
- with about 240 sq miles of beautiful sandy beaches and bays,
rugged headlands, and windswept cliff-tops that are home to masses
of seabirds.
Much of the
coast is protected by the National Trust and contains many geological
conservation sites due to the variety of rock types found in the
region. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path skirts along the
coast from Amroth in the north to St Dogmael's in the south, passing
the delightful seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot, the
old-fashioned village of Manorbier, stunning Barafundle Bay, the
lily lakes at Bosherton, the 6th century hermits' chapel of St
Govan's, Pembroke Castle, and Carew Castle and tidal mill.
Further north,
St Bride's Bay has some beautiful coastline, with cliffs, beaches
and offshore islands to explore. At the westernmost tip of St
Bride's Bay is St David's peninsula, where the magical tiny cathedral
city of St David's is situated. The rocky outcrops of the north
coast stretching along to Cardigan feel more remote than the southern
coast. There are pretty beaches near Newport, and a reconstructed
Iron Age fort at nearby Castell Henllys; while inland the Preseli
Hills contain many prehistoric remains, such as the burial chamber
at Pentre Ifan.
