Our favorite Towns and Villages:

Pembroke: A great example of a walled town, both historic and well preserved. There are many attractions perhaps the most famous is the Norman Castle which was the birthplace of Henry VII. The town itself was fortified and walled, and sections of these walls are still visible today. Through out the Main Street you will notice a fine collection of Georgian buildings, as well as a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops in the Main Street. Make sure to visit the mill pond which is a great place to watch the swans, herons, and ducks.

Tenby: Also know as Dinbych-y-Pysgod, "little town of the fishes or little fortress of the fish" is a walled seaside town in and is a popular seaside holiday resort. Make sure to check out the great sandy beaches, the 13th Century town walls including the Five Arches barbican gate, St. Mary's Church which includes a plaque to Robert Recorde, the Tudor Merchant's House. You can also catch a boat from Tenby's harbour to the monastic Caldey Island.

St David's: As well as being the smallest city in the United Kingdom St David's is the only city in the United Kingdom to lie entirely in a national park, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and it lies near the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The city is built around St David's Cathedral, which in the Middle Ages was a popular place of pilgrimage. Next to it, the fourteenth century Bishop's Palace is a ruin now in the care of Cadw and open to visitors. Other than the cathedral, attractions in the city include the thirteenth century Tower Gate, the Celtic Old Cross and a number of good art galleries. St David's is also a popular base for walking and water sports. It has several hotels and a youth hostel, and a number of pubs, including The Farmer's Arms.

Lamphey: A small village a short distance from Pembroke. The village includes a historic church and palace known as 'Bishops Palace' due to its use by the bishops of St David's. Everything was on hand - fishponds, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens and sweeping parklands. The palace was established in the 13th century. The local bakery has served the community for generations and is a hub of activity particularly on Saturday mornings when locals and tourists flock to buy fresh bread. If you carry on another 2 miles you'll come to the seaside village of Freshwater East.

Saundersfoot: The harbour was built in 1829 for the export of anthracite from the many mines in the area, although coal was exported from the beach for centuries before this. The village grew up to serve the port. The course of the tramway from Bonville Court mine bisects the village and ends at the jetty. The tramway from Amroth forms the sea front..
