Our View
The Marloes Peninsula combines dramatic coastal scenery and safe bathing on golden sands. There are walks for all abilities starting from the National Trust car parks at Marloes Sands and Martins Haven. The boat for nearby Skomer Island leaves from the tiny harbour of Martin's Haven. The geology is spectacular, including both sandstones and volcanic rocks with folds, faults and jagged rocks. An Iron Age fort on Gateholm that was the subject of a Time Team dig overlooks Marloes Sands, one of Pembrokeshire's finest beaches. The Deer Park was once a well defended Iron Age coastal fort. It takes its name from a failed attempt to establish a deer park at the turn of the 20th century. Marloes Mere is a birdwatching hotspot attracting a large number of waterfowl in winter.

About the area
Discover Pembrokeshire
Wales meets the Atlantic Ocean in spectacular fashion at Pembrokeshire. Unlike the West Country, Pembrokeshire can offer the coast without the crowds, and quaint fishing villages without those huge coach parks. Volcanic eruptions and earth movements have left a tortured rocky coastline of some 160 miles, whose beauty and drama have been recognised by National Park status.
Sometimes known as ‘Little England Beyond Wales’, the county has held a fascination for English visitors ever since the first Norman warlords forced their way in 800 years ago, leaving a string of 50 fine castles in their wake. The anonymous author of The Mabinogion, an 11th-century collection of Welsh folk legends, started it all. His description of the old Celtic kingdom of Dyfed (which encompasses Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire) as ‘the land of magic and enchantment’ was perhaps the earliest written attempt to sum up the outstanding natural beauty of this wonderful westernmost outpost of Wales. This is a county where you can take it easy on the sandy beaches, make sport out of those Atlantic waves, or discover the mysteries of St David’s or the ancient Preseli Hills.
