I have fond memories of visiting Wales when I was younger. It took forever to get there and when you arrived at your cottage it was always raining, which is probably why I remember the country as being ‘very Green’. If you drove 20-30 miles further though, you could find sandy beaches and sunny weather. The number of micro-climates in Wales is quite astonishing.
Tucked away to the southwest, a good four hour drive from London, is the county of Pembrokeshire, which gives an interesting slant to the North-South divide. The Landsker Line is a language boundary that splits the county. To the south English is more popular, and to the north more people speak Welsh and its been that way for around 800 years.
So why visit Pembrokeshire? It has a number of tourist attractions: St Davids is the smallest city in the UK, it has the only coastal National Park in the UK, Skomer Island is a must visit location for bird watchers, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a designated walking trail from Amroth to St Dogmaels, it has sandy beaches such as Stackpole and Broadhaven and it is one of the best locations in the country for camping.
