For a small county Pembrokeshire has alot to offer. Fantastic beaches, 186 miles of coastline, mostly within the National Park, award winning restaurants and cafes,and many varied attractions. There's more than enough space for everyone. It's possible to stroll for a morning without seeing another person.
Explore Skomer Island without the crowds.a National Nature Reserve off the Pembrokeshire coast. Owned by the Countryside Council for Wales it is managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. The Island is about one and a half miles long and one mile wide; volcanic rocks make the scenery spectacular, with hosts of wild flowers in early summer, and Atlantic Grey Seals in autumn. It is the home of nearly half a million seabirds, including over ten thousand endearing Puffins, and a hundred thousand secretive Manx Shearwaters. Take advantage of the spring weather, and visit the puffins during quieter times. There are opportunities of several kinds to visit the Island between April and October to enjoy an overwhelming wildlife experience.
Breezier days stir up the surf attracting hardy water sports enthusiasts, with Manorbier beach and Freshwater West being the favourites. Both of these beaches have been used for feature films, Freshwater West being the most famous. Harry Potters' shell cottage was constructed and many scenes filmed on the beach. The latest Robin Hood with Russell Crowe was also filmed here. It is a spectacular sight on a windy day with the waves crashing in, whilst the backdrop of sand dunes covered in Marram grass behind you is an ideal holiday photograph.
An impressive array of man-made attractions from ancient castles and historic sites to museums and galleries welcome visitors all year round. These include Pembroke Castle and St Davids Cathedral, acclaimed as one of Wales' greatest monuments a mile or so from the sea, it qualifies St Davids as the smallest city in Britain.
