Pembrokeshire
Nearly all of Pembrokeshire's coast falls within the National Park, established in 1952, and early recognised as an absolute gem of the British Isles. The coast has a varied landscape of offshore islands, rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills. Milford Haven waterway is one of the finest natural harbours in the world, according to Admiral Lord Nelson, and manages to combine the ultramodern industrial activity of the oil refineries and the brand new Liquified Natural Gas terminals with the thriving offshore wildlife sanctuaries of Grasholm, Ramsey, Skomer and Skokholm. These islands are particularly noted for their populations of Gannets, Manx Shearwaters and Puffins. The upper reaches of the River Cleddau are particularly tranquil. Divers come from all over the UK to the Marine Nature Reserve of Skomer to explore the wrecks. The Vikings discovered Milford Haven in about 850 and left their legacy by naming many of the features of the coast. Grasholm, Skomer, Skokholm, even Lundy, are all Viking names.
The coastal harbours of Tenby, Saundersfoot, Solva and Fishguardall have their particular charm and character and we shall be able to visit all of them. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the British Isles can be found along the Pembrokeshire coast.
