Things to do in Pembrokeshire, Wales: The Best Museums

July 27, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The diminutive Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a dramatic area of 225 square miles in southwest Wales, was set aside as a national park in 1952 and comprises a large portion of the Pembrokeshire coast and its islands and the moorland hills of Mynydd Preseli. Rugged cliffs and coastal rock formations are home to boisterous populations of seabirds, porpoises, whales, seals and dolphins. Cycle, hike or sea kayak around the spectacular coastline. Bird watching and rock climbing are also popular.

Chapel Bay Fort & Museum

A military fortress, museum and cafe located within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park at Angle, Pembrokeshire. Unfortunately we will not be opening at Easter as planned. We are following Government guidance in respect of Coronavirus and will remain closed until that advice changes.

Spent the afternoon at CBF and what an amazing time capsule this place is, Run by volunteers who simply do their job for the love of it and the information the various Guides have is absolutely incredible. The layout of the exhibits is interesting, with all the data displayed Ranging from modern weapons, going back several hundred years and a stunning view of the Haven which is hard to beat and more interestingly you become immersed in a way of military every day life that took place a hundred years ago. You wont be disappointed and you have a sandy beach just around the corner too. STUNNING

A beautiful little gallery just a stone's throw from the beach in Saundersfoot. The artist has taken inspiration from his coastal surroundings and has created some stunning ceramics that are well worth having a look at. Richard has a website too so you can see his latest creations long after you've returned from your holiday! Highly recommended.

Loved this - what a fun day for all ages.... My daughter and I spent about 4 hours decorating and also throwing some pots. Paul, the owner, is great and on hand if you have any questions and we ended up with 4 new pots - definitely the highlight of our holiday this year.

Raul Speek Gallery

We are trying to create a mobile phone free space here including photographs of the art works and the cafe area. This is in line with our concerns that the use of these and their direct link to social media is encouraging people to concentrate on posting images rather than participating directly in the experience of being here and in Pembrokeshire. We would appreciate your help with this. If you speak to Raul he is usually amenable to having a picture or two taken but ask first. In January, February and March 2020 we will be open some weekends on a pop-up basis. We live on the premises and will be working on new websites there and are re-decorating so ring us if you want to speak to us and we will let you in!! Websites when updated during this time will show tapas night dates for the Summer and workshops dates. Sorry to let you down over the tapas nights last year when I broke my foot (Heather) but hopefully that wont happen again in 2020!!

Visiting Solva we were delighted to find Raul’s gallery in an old chapel.Truly original and well conceived art with powerful messages - this was backed up in a conversation with Raul who is intelligent, witty and thoughtful. This gallery is the gem of a lovely village due to this brilliant man.
