Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is a national park in west Wales that runs along the Pembrokeshire coast. It was designated a National Park in 1952. The Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Parks are the other two national parks in Wales. It is the only national park in the United Kingdom that is primarily made up of coastal landscapes.

The topography of the National Park is diverse, including steep cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries, wild inland hills, the Preseli Hills' moorland, and the wooded Gwaun valley. 629 km2 is the total area (243 sq mi). The south Pembrokeshire coast, including Caldey Island, the Daugleddau estuary, the St Bride's Bay shoreline, including the coastal islands, and the Preseli Hills are all distinct sections.

Wales has more than its fair share of stunning coastline, being surrounded by sea on three sides. Some of the most impressive may be found along the coast of the Pembrokeshire Peninsula, which juts out into the Irish Sea, with a large portion of it coming within the confines of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro).

Tourists can best explore this magnificent scenery on foot along the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coast National Trail, which is part of the 870-mile (1,400 km) Wales Coast Path, which was officially opened in 2012 and passing through villages such as the picturesque little resort of Tenby, which is still partially enclosed by its medieval walls.
