United Kingdom · Wales · 15 m
Description
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the southwest coast of Wales is a spectacular landscape of rugged cliffs, golden beaches and hidden coves. The nearly 300-kilometre Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows the shoreline past natural rock arches, sea caves, seabird colonies and historic landmarks. St Davids, Britain’s smallest city, is renowned for its magnificent cathedral, while the picturesque harbour towns of Tenby and Solva charm visitors with their historic character. Offshore, Skomer Island is an important haven for puffins and other seabirds. The national park combines dramatic scenery, rich history and distinctive Welsh coastal character into an exceptionally diverse destination.
