St. Brides Area

St Brides Bay on Pembrokeshire’s west coast offers a peaceful setting for a holiday away from the crowds. The landscape on the St Davids peninsula is dominated by the huge igneous outcrop of Carn Llidi, where many pre-historic sites and ancient burial chambers can be found. The cliff scenery along the coastal path is wild and dramatic and a selection of superb beaches can be found nearby.

The Dale peninsula is a well-established centre for water sports and there are regular expeditions from St Davids to the offshore islands of Skomer, Skokholm and Grassholm which provide unique seabird and wildlife sanctuaries.

Goodwick, a tiny fishing village, accommodates the ferry to Ireland, and is virtually a suburb of Fishguard, and together they provide an ideal base for the exploration of North Pembrokeshire. Fishguard is split into two parts, the upper containing the shops, pubs and restaurants and the lower featuring pretty cottages clustered around the old harbour. The landscape around Fishguard is truly breathtaking and the beautiful wooded Gwaun Valley area is dotted with prehistoric features.

Little Haven nestles between high cliffs and its beach, a sandy cove, connects with its larger neighbour, Broad Haven. These tiny secluded villages are dramatically set on the western coast of Pembrokeshire where the most magnificent sunsets can be enjoyed. Broad Haven is the biggest and one of the most popular beaches on Pembrokeshire's west coast. The village has good facilaties including a cafe, resturaunts, shops and watersports.

The popular surfing resort of Newgale is located at the northeastern end of St Brides Bay overlooking the impressive Newgale Sands and makes an idea get-away location for those seeking peace and seclusion in a coastal location. Nolton Haven also provides seclusion with its attractive cove and is located half way between Little Haven and Newgale. The area is characterised by narrow lanes and bridal paths and is a popular location for pony trekking and walking. Dominating the otherwise flat landscape of Roch, the prime feature is the thirteenth century castle, which stands on an igneous rock outcrop.
