Running the length of the beautiful coastline of south-west Wales, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park takes in rugged cliffs, craggy offshore islands, fabulous beaches, pretty moorland hills and an amazingly diverse range of wildlife.

Visitors to Wales are often staggered by quite how picturesque it can be here and nowhere more so than at Tenby, probably the most iconic seaside town in the country. Tenby Beach is the generic name given to not one but four of its beaches, all of which offer sheltered, deep blue water and outstanding views.

Aberystwyth University has a proud history dating back to 1872, when it was established by the people of Wales as the first Welsh university.

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Barafundle Bay during your trip to Pembroke? Visit the spas in this walkable area, or simply enjoy its coffeehouses.

Skomer is an island just off the coast of Pembrokeshire in south-west Wales. It is about a mile and a half long from north to south and two miles wide from east to west, formed of volcanic rocks, with sheltered bays, looming headlands and sheer cliffs.

If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Aberystwyth Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Aberystwyth. Stroll along the area's seaside, or simply savor its lively bars.
