About Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
This is Britain's only truly coastal national park. It's a spectacular landscape of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild hills, and a place of sanctuary for wildlife.
Miles of dazzling coastline and the wilds of the Preseli Hills make the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park one of the country’s top places to visit and enjoy, from relaxing strolls and stargazing to high-octane hobbies like surfing and coasteering.
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path forms the longest and oldest established section of the Wales Coast Path. Opened in 1970, it hugs the rugged Pembrokeshire coastline for 186 miles, or 299km, from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south. Much of the route is at cliff-top level, providing superb views of the sea, beaches and offshore islands with their wealth of marine and bird life.
The Path takes in almost every kind of maritime landscape – from steep limestone cliffs and undulating red sandstone bays, to volcanic headlands, beaches, estuaries and flooded glacial valleys. Elsewhere it follows gentler shorelines, including the outer reaches of the Milford Haven estuary, one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
