Barafundle Bay is part of the Stackpole Estate and maintained by the National Trust. Award winning and more like a Caribbean beach than your typical British beach. It feels as though you’ve stumbled upon a delightful new discovery, with its secluded position.

Rugged, unspoilt and most delightful for a whole day beach trip. Freshwater East boasts a huge expanse of beautiful sand backed by dunes, this beach is not unlike those beaches you find off the beaten track in France.

A wild stretch of golden sand looked after by the National Trust. Backed by dunes and rocks this is a rugged stretch of the Pembrokeshire coastline.

If you’re planning a trip to Pembrokeshire soon and are new to the area you may be a little unsure about what’s on offer. We’ve discovered some amazing online resources on our Pembrokeshire adventures and thought it would be good to share them here.

Less than one mile off the Pembrokeshire Coast is Skomer Island, a beautiful retreat from city life. A very well cared for National Nature Reserve, with a focus on conservation.

There’s nothing quite like a Manorbier Sunset. The headland is both beautiful and dramatic, a real on the edge of the world experience. And to top it all Manorbier has its own Castle to explore.

Saundersfoot - a tranquil seaside resort. A smaller town than Tenby but no less beautiful! More tranquil and less crowded, Saundersfoot is by no means boring. 

If you’re after the hustle and bustle of a holiday resort Tenby is perfect.

If you want to sample Artisan foods and eat out every evening Tenby has plenty to offer.

If it’s a stroll with sea views Tenby has plenty to show you.

If you’re after the quintessential UK seaside holiday Tenby most definitely should be on your list.

When I was growing up a Staycation was typically a vacation spent sleeping in your own bed but going for ‘days out’ to nearby beaches and attractions. And a holiday in the UK was, well a HOLIDAY!

Could it be that inadvertently we have discovered one of the best kept secrets of the UK. I am hesitating slightly as I ponder the wisdom in sharing this with you.
