Holiday In Pembrokeshire

The secret is well and truly out! Pembrokeshire is proving to be one of the most popular holiday destinations in the UK. So why do you ask yourself? Well, its like this, if you want the only coastal national park in the UK with incredible scenery, fantastic beaches, more activities than you can think of and accommodation and food to rival anything around that's just the start of it! Yes, Pembrokeshire is a haven of natural beauty that the regular "secret" holidaymaker that has been making their annual pilgrimage for the last 20 years had hoped no one else would find out. Each year they would return home and lie to their friends and neighbours as to where they been so no one would dare go there! Unfortunately, the secret is out and in a bigger way than you may believe.

The beaches in Pembrokeshire are something to behold. Beautiful sands and breathtaking scenery follow an endless coastline. Tenby is probably the most popular town with super beaches, food and bars and pubs that refuse to let you go home. Further along the coast is Saundersfoot, a small village that has become the ultimate picture postcard holiday shot. Its fine pubs serving excellent food using local produce and the imposing and newly refurbished St.Brides hotel surveys all before it at the top of the cliff top. Further inland you come to the town of Narberth which is certainly now the antique capital of West Wales. This sheer gem of a town has a mixture of old and new without losing any of its charm and elegance. The proud Plas Hyfryd Hotel, the old lady of the town is the focal point for locals and visitors alike.

These are but a few of the areas that West Wales has to offer. Towns like St.David's with its famous cathedral should also receive a visit and so many more this article may well go on for another ten pages but move on we must to another area that is so important, that of activities!
