A
quiet hamlet that lies at the centre of
the beautiful St.Brides bay coastline,
with steep undulating cliffs and sandy
beaches, completely unspoilt but within
easy reach of Haverfordwest, the "county
town" and many nearby villages.
The whole coastline is part of the Pembrokeshire
Coast National park. An area of outstanding
beauty with a wide variety of natural
amenities available to the holidaymaker
including the coast path (over 160 miles)
that passes through the haven, an abundance
of wildlife, sea birds, wild flowers and
beaches safe for swimming, surfing, boating
and fishing.
Within a short distance lie Newgale, well
known for surf along three miles of golden
sands, St Davids, the smallest cathedral
in Great Britian; the coastal villages
of little haven, broad haven and Solva
with a particularly pretty natural harbour.
Interesting places to visit include the
Preseli Hills, Cleddau Estuary, Woollen
Mills, craft shops, potteries and a popular
boat trip from Martins Haven to Skomer
Island bird sanctuary. Visitors expecting
the noise and crowns of the large resorts
will be disappointed; the area relies
upon its own natural beauty and appreciative
holidaymakers return year after year.
