Pembrokeshire Coastal Explorer: Wales' Rugged Scenic Drive (5/6)
Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Pembrokeshire, Wales. This route weaves along dramatic coastal roads, guiding you past sweeping clifftops, golden sandy bays, and charming seaside villages. Begin your adventure in Llanelli, heading west through lush countryside before reaching the picturesque harbour town of Milford Haven. Follow the shoreline to the charming village of Dale, where panoramic sea views and tranquil nature reserve walks await. Continue north to discover wild, unspoilt beaches near St Brides and the breathtaking cliffs at St David’s Head. Marvel at dramatic Atlantic vistas from the rugged coastlines around Strumble Head, and unwind in the historic city of St Davids, home to the UK’s smallest cathedral. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife—a hotspot for puffins, seals, and dolphins. This drive is ideal for those seeking a blend of outdoor adventure and peaceful coastal scenery, peppered with opportunities for scenic hikes, seaside picnics, and visits to iconic Welsh landmarks.
