Journeys: Pembrokeshire, Wales -- Castles and Coast
Pembrokeshire in Wales is a hidden national treasure with beautiful gardens, the only National Coast Park in Britain, and the Landsker, a line of castles and strongholds built in the 11th century by Normans to act as a barrier between England and Wales. We visit Pembroke Castle, where Henry Tudor was born, and which was the centre for Norman rule in West Wales, and Carew Castle built on the site of an Iron Age fort. Picton and Upton Castles, Saundersfoot and Colby have magnificent gardens and for scenery we were blown away by the sweeping crescent of jagged cliffs, sandy beaches, and incredible sea views along the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Path.

Detached 5 star cottage just outside Porthgain | Hafan Penrhyn
This detached cottage with sea views is located on a quiet country lane in Llanrhian and is only a short drive (or walk) from the sea and the fishing village of Porthgain with its harbour, great local pub 'The Sloop' and seafood restaurant 'The Shed'.
There are many great beaches and coves, all nearby, including Abereiddy and Trefin. We can also recommend some great secluded beaches on arrival, but they are a secret, so please don't tell anyone else :). The ever popular Whitesands Beach is just 6 miles away and is great for surfing, bathing and family fun.
The St David's Peninsula is beautiful and contains St David's itself, Britains' smallest city. The Cathedral is well worth a visit and is only 6 miles away from the cottage. St David's has plenty of places to eat and drink, small local shops and a supermarket. Ramsey Island is a dramatic off-shore island teaming with bird and sea life. It is accessible by a regular boat service from St Justinian’s, which crosses the spectacular Ramsey Sound, with its infamous and treacherous reef, known as The Bitches. Many boat trips can be booked, including jet boat rides, fishing trips, bird watching, seal watching and even whale and dolphin watching trips. The coastline includes the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path section of the All Wales Coastal Path so it is great for walking. A shuttle bus runs near the property and can drop you off or pick you up form different points along the path. Coasteering is very popular in the area (our very own Meirion tried coasteering here) especially at the Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy and other popular activities include kayaking and surfing, with lessons and kit hire all available locally.
Fishguard is about 8 miles away. This town has a ferry port (ideal for a day trip to Ireland) and it also has a very interesting history: the last invasion of Britain took place here in 1797 and local hero, Jemima Nicholas, is alleged to have beaten back the French invaders wielding only a pitch fork. A special tapestry tells the story of this historical episode and can be seen in the Town Hall. Strumble Head is a rocky headland near Fishgaurd and with its towering cliffs and rocky landscape, it is also a great spot to watch the ferry coming into the harbour and to try and spot any dolphins in the bay.
For families, Folly Farm , Oakwood Theme Park and Hanger 5 Trampoline Park , Manor House Wildlife Park and Heatherton World of Activities are great all-weather attractions.
First Time in Wales

Wales: The Ancient Land
This short overview of Wales highlights the magnificent mountains of Snowdonia, the stunning scenery along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and introduces us to the country's history rich with the legends of Camelot, Iron Age Celts and Irish Chieftains. We explore Roman forts and Norman castles, rolling countryside and beautiful gardens. Our travels take us around the capital, Cardiff, to the ruins of Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley, and out into the country where narrow-gauge railways once carried slate from the quarries.
