Pembrokeshire, on Wales’ far western edge, is where land and sea meet in spectacular fashion. Its dramatic coastal scenery, ancient towns, and rich wildlife make it one of the UK’s most inspiring regions for walking holidays and outdoor adventures. From the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and St Davids to the golden sands of Barafundle Bay, every step reveals a new chapter of coastal life and landscape.
This is a county defined by rhythm — of tide, wind, and footfall. Whether tracing cliff-top trails above the Irish Sea, exploring the Preseli Hills, or kayaking through hidden coves, Pembrokeshire offers the perfect blend of wild beauty and cultural depth for self-guided travel.
