What to do and see in Pembrokeshire, Wales: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

May 9, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

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.

Caerfai Bay

Reviewed By ceiriosm - Bridgend, United Kingdom

Absolutely stunning views from the car park (which is free). We walked along one of the paths that led us down to a secluded beach. Was hidden from the wind and a beautiful hidden spot. I wouldn’t recommend for people who have trouble walking or prams etc.

Porth Clais Harbour

Reviewed By darrenlewis78 - Neath, United Kingdom

Parking is £2 and the parking is manned. There’s few coastal paths along cliff tops, not too difficult. Well worth the walk to see stunning views. You can walk to end of harbour where you’ll find perfect spot for crabbing or dip if you fancy it. Well worth the visit

Pembroke Castle

One of the most magnificent of Britain's castles is the "birth place of the Tudor Dynasty." You can climb the 80ft Great Keep, descend into a pre-historic cave and look down into a prisoner in a medieval dungeon. There is also a cafe and gift shop. During school holidays there are falconry displays, historic re-enactments and family entertainment. The main exhibition rooms display models and weaponry as well as telling the story of the history of the castle. You can also visit the room that King Henry VII the founder of the Tudor Dynasty was born.

We had a great time at Pembroke castle: the castle itself, and it’s history are wonderful and we took a free guided tour with Gareth (“the retired history teacher”) who was absolutely brilliant, full of passion, knowledge and humour. Would definitely recommend anyone who is interested in history visit this castle (and anyone who isn’t normally!) and take advantage of the brilliant tours!

Beautiful working watermill in the picturesque village of St Dogmaels. We produce traditionally stone-ground flours and offer guided tours of the mill.

Fascinating history (very old and also within living memory), great close-up viewing of interesting mechanical goings-on (including the sluice and water wheel), hands-on levers and pullys for the children. We all really enjoyed it. It's also opposite the abbey ruins, which is free entry and lovely for a picnic.

Reviewed By Asitisreally - Bridgend, United Kingdom

Walks both sides of harbour, The Shed and The Sloop Inn, both offer great food, great location in all weather, great to watch storm surge as it hits harbour wall, then pop indoors for a bite and a pint
