What to do and see in Pembrokeshire, Wales: The Best Horseback Riding Tours
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.

My daughter and I spent 3 days riding here (I'm 58, she's 30) and would encourage anyone who likes horses to go for this experience. This team are so well organised and professional that whatever your level of ability and experience they'll have you enjoying yourself and building your confidence. (Group rides are split down to assist with this, and a myriad of support riders means you get lots of support if you need it, and great company if you don't (Ang, Lynn and Jess you were stars - thank you!).) The beach rides are truly fantastic - you won't be disappointed. We were really impressed and hope to return. Local accommodation in the lovely Glebe House - and cracking breakfasts - made it all very relaxing, and as an added bonus, every local eatery we tried for dinner was excellent (especially The Haven).
