Barafundle Bay

Just the best beaches #wales #pembrokeshire

Beautiful untouched beach in Tenby. Voted one of the top beaches in the UK to visit.

A small bay backed by dunes and pine trees, accessible only by a half mile walk from the nearest car park. Swathes of golden sand and crystal clear waters, Barafundle has been voted many, many times as one of the best beaches in Britain and the world; it’s often likened to a Caribbean beach! This pristine beach is isolated which means no facilities; so everything you take has to come back up over the cliffs.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
T. S. Eliot

During the walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, I wondered what kind of poet wrote this epic story that we find ourselves in. Silly boy...always asking why the sky is blue as if it would change the taste of chocolate or Irish stew. Yet, I still need to know...why? Keeps me occupied, I guess, on days when there is nothing to do but wonder...why blue?

Good walk from Stackpole Court past Stackpole lakes down to Barafundle Bay along beach and up some very steep steps to a National Trust tea room at Stackpole Quay.

The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up.
Jeff Bridges

After the magnificent, but foreboding sheer cliffs, the open sandy beach was a welcome breath of emptiness. The union of water and sand, constantly shifting, rising and retreating is a story that unfolds beautifully on a warm autumn day. I spent a moment to breathe in the crescendo of salty waves caressing the afternoon air and thought what a splendid day this has been.

Freshwater East Beach

4.5/5(37 reviews)

Stretching along the Pembrokeshire Coast, Freshwater East Beach is a haven for wildlife and a great spot for holidaymakers to spend a day. This sandy beach with its rolling dunes and striking red cliffs is a little off the beaten track so it never gets too crowded with visitors, leaving you plenty of space to explore the many rock pools.

Pembroke Castle

4.5/5(43 reviews)

Pembroke Castle is the birthplace of the first Tudor king and has enough graceful majesty to more than match its place in history. The 11th century fort is packed full of surprises and won't fail to amaze first-time visitors to this gorgeous corner of Wales.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
Leo Tolstoy

Manorbier castle, built at the end of the 11th century, only had two small skirmishes take place at its location. The castle survived those battles. It lost the war, however, with time and patience.

Carew Castle

4.5/5(15 reviews)

Regarded as one of the most impressive castles in Wales, visitors to Carew Castle can trace the structure’s history from Norman fortifications to when it became an Elizabethan country home owned by Sir John Perrot, possibly an illegitimate son of Henry VIII, before its eventual abandonment in the 17th Century. Several notable features have resulted, including earthworks created by Royalist defenders during the Civil War and window frames dating to Tudor times that were made of imported Cotswold stone that stands out against the local limestone used for the rest of the building.
