The 186 miles of Pembrokeshire Coastal Path has been named as one of the world’s top walks, ahead of the Inca Trail and the trek to Mount Kilimanjaro. The travel agent Cheapflights describes Pembrokeshire as a haven for wildlife. “Along the path travellers can witness incredible historical sites such as 2,000-year-old forts, burial grounds from 400AD and a medieval castle or two,” it says.

Charles Mathieson, head of tourism for the Pembrokeshire National Park, described it as a fantastic honour. “We know the path attracts a million walks each year,” he said. Last year Pembrokeshire’s beaches were named the second best on the planet in a list compiled by the National Geographic.

The Pembrokeshire Coast ranked highly in National Geographic’s annual geotourism survey, making it the second best coastal destination in the world just behind the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland.

What People Are Saying

"Our second visit and we are still in awe of this wonderful place..........We invited our friends and they fell in love with everything about Aberfforest too. We would love to return again."

"What an amazing place! Quirky, practical and quiet :-) A great location to get away from it all, even if the weather didn't quite play ball. Patio was still warm in the sunshine out of the breeze. I think James wants a woodburner....."

"Lovely place to stay for our honeymoon :-) Wonderful weather too!!"

"Aberfforest is a very special bay on this beautiful coastline, pitted with tiny sandy coves and a favourite haunt of seals and dolphins"
