Pembrokeshire must see attractions

1. Tenby Beach

While all of these beaches are worth exploring, it’s Harbour Beach, at the rear of the harbour, which offers the best protection from the wind and must be considered one of the most child-friendly beach destinations in Pembrokeshire. Recently named the finest beach in Europe, Harbour won out over competitors from Portugal, Croatia and Italy. Considered the jewel in the crown of Pembrokeshire’s tourism portfolio, it’s postcard-perfect, if a little crowded during peak season.

Skinner is a great place for bird watching. The number of daily visitors is limited to protect the environment, so it's not always possible to get there. On Monday late June we recorded 36 species.

4. Pembroke Castle

Visit Pembroke Castle to explore ancient battlements, keeps and towers and find exhibitions that retell its almost thousand-year history. Norman invaders established Pembroke Castle in 1093 on a promontory overlooking Pembroke River. William Marshall, the Earl of Pembroke, developed the castle in 1189, turning it into today’s imposing landmark. It has been the home to the Tudor and Stuart families and was the birthplace of Henry VII, King of England.
