Explore
This is a gloriously unspoilt part of Pembrokeshire with so much to discover on your doorstep too.
There is an abundance of countryside walks right on your doorstep and the coastal path will provide breathtaking vistas around every corner, so don't forget your walking boots.
After time wandering the shops and galleries in Britain’s smallest city, St Davids, grab a lunch at one of the many eateries and sit back and watch the comings and goings. The beautiful Cathedral and magnificent Bishops Palace are simply stunning and worth a morning or afternoon to discover them.
For those a little more adventurous, there's boat trips around Ramsey Island or try Coasteering along the Coastal Waters.
The harbour village of Solva is a 10 minute drive away. Park the car and wander down the harbour and watch the bobbing boats bringing in the catch of the day. Enjoy a coffee at the Yacht Club or find your space on the harbour wall and try your hand at crabbing.
Pembrokeshire Day trips are an easy option so pack up the car and spend the day exploring from as far South as Tenby, right up the coastline North to Poppit Sands.
