PembrokeshirePembrokeshire has long been a favourite place to holiday. The coastline remains unspoilt with most of it lying within the protection of the Pembrokeshire National Park. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path stretches 186 miles around the coast from St Dogmaels in the North to Amroth in the South. |
|
| There are plenty of local companies offering boat trips around the coast and to visit the surrounding islands of Skomer, Skokholm, Ramsey, Caldey and Grassholm. You may even see dolphins and seals.

| Newport in north Pembrokeshire is an idyllic village. Enjoy a meal at Cnapan, Llys Meddyg or one of the many excellent restauraunts then a stroll on the beautiful Newport Sands. For views over Newport you can either climb Carn Ingli ("Rock of Angels") or visit the Neolitic burial chamber at Pentre Ifan. |

Hundreds of beautiful beaches surround the coast. Broad Haven South and Barafundle are two of the most stunning. Both can only be accessed by foot which keeps them secluded from the road and away from the noise of traffic. The coast walk between the two is stunning so well worth visiting both beaches in one day and enjoying the views as you walk between the two. There are National Trust car parks close to both beaches. If you park at Bosherston your walk to Broad Haven South takes you round the edge of a series of lily ponds, remnants of the 19th century Stackpole Estate. The lilies are normally in bloom May to June. A little further up the coast from Broad Haven South is St Govans Chapel, a tiny chapel built into the side of the cliff. The Chapel now lies within the Ministry of Defence firing range so can you can only visit it on certain days, so do take advantage of visiting it if it is open on a day you are close by. |

Carew Castle, like Pembroke Castle, is worth visiting on a trip to Pembrokeshire. It's been said there are more castles per square foot in Pembrokeshire than anywhere else in Britain. In the summer Shakespeare plays are often performed in the ruins of castles and the Bishop's Palace in St Davids.
For more entertainment St Davids Cathedral hosts many concerts throughout the year but particularly during its festival which is normally late May/early June. The Fishguard International Music Festival is normally held in the first week in July. The Queens Hall in Narbeth hosts a variety of live bands, plays and comedy nights throughout the year. The Palace Cinema in Haverfordwest is an independently run cinema about ten minutes drive from The Old School. |
