L'essentiel de Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire Essentials

Pembrokeshire’s landscape is defined by the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path, featuring dramatic limestone arches like the Green Bridge of Wales and the secluded sands of Barafundle Bay. The region holds significant historical sites, including the 12th-century St Davids Cathedral and the birthplace of Henry VII at Pembroke Castle. Visitors can explore the Neolithic dolmen of Pentre Ifan, the medieval ruins of Carew Castle, and the puffin colonies on Skomer Island. Freshwater West offers world-class surfing and served as a filming location for major cinematic productions.
