Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Pembroke is an excellent base from which to explore the marvelous scenery of the southwest coast. A particularly delightful walk is along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Footpath, laid out in 1970. It covers a distance of 167mi/267km along the coast from Carmarthen Bay to Cardigan Bay and in doing so crosses the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park, established in 1952. As walkers pass remote beaches and romantic steep cliffs they are charmed by the unique magic of the landscape; they may also see rare sea birds, such as puffins or razor-billed auks.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park covers an area of 225 square miles and is Britain's only coastal national park. The walking path is a National Trail and is marked by sign posts depicting acorns.
