popular Towns and villages
Pembrokeshire’s harbourside villages may be small but it does have a city! St Davids is home to the beautiful cathedral of Wales’ patron saint, but just 1,400 residents among its cobbled streets, making it the smallest city in Britain!
Tenby is a gorgeous walled seaside town. Originally settled by the Normans, Tenby became a fortified town in the 13th century. Today, its walls surround the cobbled lanes and grand Georgian houses that jostle for space around the iconic harbour and its stunning beaches. This is the place for ice cream on the beach!
Narberth is a stunning small market town in the heart of Pembrokeshire that has become a shopping mecca for all things Pembrokeshire; paintings, pottery, sculpture, and jewellery makers can all be found in this colourful town. This is a great spot for a luxurious lunch when glamping in Pembrokeshire.
Pembroke is a historic walled town which is home to probably the finest castle in Pembrokeshire and the birthplace of Henry VII. The Main Street houses some quirky antique shops, cafes and gift shops. In the summer, it hosts ‘Rock the Castle’, where a host of well-known bands take over the castle grounds ~ best setting for a gig…ever??
