Our Local Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire offers a very wide range of things to do, see and experience.
The magnificent Pembrokeshire coastline can be walked throughout the year and is home to a myriad of wild flowers, seabirds and scenery which is all very special.
The sunsets in this area are simply stunning.

Pembrokeshire Coastal Path

Pembrokeshire Coast Path

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, often called the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, is a designated National Trail in Pembrokeshire. It is a 186-mile walking route, mostly at cliff-top level, with a total of 35,000 feet (11,000 m) of ascent and descent. Whilst most of the coastline faces west, it offers – at varying points – coastal views in every direction of the compass.

The Bleeding Yew Tree

In Nevern Churchyard there are a number of ancient yew trees. One of these yews near to the gate is called the “Bleeding Yew” which is about 700 years old. There are many myths about why the Nevern yew tree bleeds: Local legend says the red sap (resin) will continue to ooze from this tree until ‘the castle on the hill is once again occupied by a Welshman’. One myth says that a monk was hanged on this tree for a crime of which he was innocent and the tree is protesting his innocence.

The Celtic Cross

An impressive historical feature in Nevern is the 10th-century cross standing in the churchyard, sometimes known as the Great Cross of St Brynach. The Nevern Cross stands 13 feet high, and is among the finest carved crosses in Wales, if not all of Britain. The cross is carved with intricate knotwork, ringwork, Greek swastikas, and geometric patterns.

The Neolithic Dolmen

Pentre Ifan dates back to Neolithic (New Stone Age) times, when our ancestors buried their dead in tombs such as this. What we see before us today are the bare bones of a burial chamber that would originally have been covered with an earthen mound. Pentre Ifan’s sense of mystery is heightened by its surroundings and backdrop. Its outline neatly frames the Preseli Hills, source of the famous Pembrokeshire ‘bluestones’ that went into the making of Stonehenge as well as Pentre Ifan itself.

St. Davids Cathedral

St Davids Cathedral

St Davids Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral situated in St Davids, Britain's smallest city, in the county of Pembrokeshire, near the most westerly point of Wales. St Davids is one of the great historic shrines of Christendom. Nowhere in Britain is there a more ancient cathedral settlement, for it reaches back fifteen centuries. The monastic community was founded by Saint David, Abbot of Menevia, who died in 589.

Newport Links Golf Course

Newport Links Golf Club offers an outstanding 96 year old links course sitting alongside the beautiful Nevern estuary. After hosting events such as the Welsh Ladies Seniors Open in September 2014 the golf course was elevated to championship status. The course itself may be just over 6000 yards but with small greens, undulating fairways and that seaside breeze, accuracy is essential. Our signature hole, the par 3 fifteenth, which is played over sand dunes onto a postage stamp elevated green, has been voted as one of the toughest holes in Britain. With mesmerizing sea views on every hole, Newport Links is a must play.
