Cresswell Quay

Cresswell Quay is one of the hidden gems of Pembrokeshire. A sleepy and unspoilt hamlet with few houses and home to the popular Cresselly Quay Arms, a traditional country pub.

Although the area is now tranquil and beautiful, Cresswell Quay has had a busy industrial past. In the early 19th century, Cresswell was dotted with coal mines, and the abandoned quay is evidence of a former life as a port. Coal was loaded onto barges and transported downstream to thevillageofLawrennywhere it was transferred to larger boats. Now Cresswell is a quiet site for a picnic, where you can enjoy the turn of the waterway as it changes from a fast stream into a broad and slow river. You will often find horse riders, walkers and cyclists weaving their way through the peaceful area which is perfect for those seeking a quiet romantic break inWales

In the Summer you can enjoy traditional pig roasts at the Creselly Arms which are hugely popular for locals as well as visitors, especially those with families as children can enjoy wading in the water and having their face painted in safe view of parents who can enjoy a drink of locally brewed welsh ale.

From Cresswell Quay you have easy access to the town of Haverfordwest which is a 20 minute drive here you will find numerous high street shops and amenities. The town ofNarbethis also within driving distance, where you will find an abundance of local boutiques and art galleries. On route to Haverfordwest you will find attractions such as Cannaston Woods which is classed as an ‘Ancient Woodland’ which has been in existence for at least 300 years. Cannaston woods is managed by the Forestry Commission and is a great place to go walking or mountain biking. Originally part of the Slebech Estate, the woods have a wealth of history and were once used for hunting deer and wild boar which were introduced into the forest in 1834. There are no deer or wild boar left in the woods, and the only animals you are likely to see are grey squirrels and foxes. The woods are also abundant with birds and insects and wild flowers abound alongside the forest tracks and paths. Be sure to bring a map or navigational equipment as this maze of paths can be easy to lose yourself in!
