Bosherston Lily Ponds

An easy, hour-long, one-mile scenic circular walk along gravel paths and boardwalks around man-made freshwater lakes. Bosherston Lily Ponds are home to otters, moorhens and, in June, dragonflies attracted by the eponymous lilies. At the nearby village of Bosherston you can get light refreshments at the Ye Olde Worlde Cafe or more substantial fayre, including cawl and homemade desserts at St Govan’s Inn.

Broadhaven South Beach

One of the best beaches in Pembrokeshire, Broadhaven South Beach is a wide, sandy beach backed by dunes with a limestone stack called Church Rock just offshore. The most picturesque and romantic way to approach the beach is on foot from Bosherston Lily Ponds through Mere Pool Valley. If you don’t fancy the one-mile lakeside walk, there is also a car park above the beach, which, a Dark Skies Discovery Sight, is renowned for stag-gazing after dark.

Carew Castle & Tidal Mill

The best way to appreciate Carew Castle's history is to book a tour. The knowledgeable guides give a history of Britain from the Norman conquest to the Elizabethan times, bringing the ruins to life by setting the castle in a national context throughout its 900-year history. The mile-long circular walk around the mill pond allows you to appreciate the stunning location, view the castle from every angle, and visit the only restored tidal mill in Wales.

Solva

Starting next to the remains of the lime kilns that were once the source of Solva’s prosperity, the walk up the Gribin headland looks steeper than it is. Once at the top, the views of Solva Harbour, the neighbouring shingled bay, and out to sea are spectacular. No visit to Solva is complete without calling at Mrs Will’s The Fish. A unique takeaway business run from her bungalow selling fresh locally caught and dressed seafood platters.
