Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
This is Britain’s only truly coastal National Park. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park boasts some of the most spectacular scenery and diverse wildlife in Britain. It’s a spectacular landscape of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills, and a place of sanctuary for wildlife. In spring the coastal grassland is a colourful blaze of wild flowers; there’s a huge variety of bird life, from puffins to peregrine falcons; and if you’re lucky you might see grey seals, porpoises or dolphins out at sea.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park boasts a wealth of wonderful places to explore and enjoy. Its stunning coastline offers safe, sandy beaches ideal for families, as well as rugged cliffs and secluded rocky coves. The 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path is one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales.
The park is also a focus for activities, from hiking and bird-watching to high-adrenaline sports such as surfing, coasteering, sea kayaking and rock climbing. There is plenty for the history buff to explore in the area as well, from prehistoric tombs, Celtic crosses, Victorian forts, the great cathedral of St David’s and the massive castle at Pembroke, as well as a host of small towns to linger in such as the foodie haven of Newport and the fishing village of Fishguard.
Holiday accommodation in the area includes four cottage set around a courtyard at Lower Lamphey Park. The cottages can sleep between two and eight people.
