Pembrokeshire Away From The Tourist Trappings
Pembrokeshire, renowned for its environmental beauty
, is one of the highest visited areas in Wales. Attracted to its unspoilt natural beauty, mile upon mile of pristine sandy beaches, and the U.K's one and only coastal National Park, the southern region of Pembrokeshire is a hoard of activity in the summer. But winter can be a lovely time to visit Pembrokeshire as well, owing to being less crowded and with a choice of cultural celebrations occuring around this time.Holiday accommodation about Pembrokeshire is abundant, with a lot of options to decide from. One of the more popular choices of holiday lodging in the county is staying in a holiday cottage. There are lots of holiday cottages to decide from, a number of the more well-known and respected sites allow you to book holiday cottages online as well as allowing you to examine the property through a assortment of multimedia. With its many campsites, camping in Pembrokeshire is the second most popular way in which tourists visit the area. With the lack of modern encroachment on the countryside, it is debatably a fitting choice of area for individuals looking to get back to the natural world.
When travelling to the region, it is vital to keep in mind that there is an unofficial partition inside the county of Pembrokeshire that divides the somewhat tourist industry geared south, and the more agriculturally focused north. Both sides possesses its own atmosphere and culture, but to offer a more precise description, it would be fairer to split the county in three. This can be delineated by A40 which sections and isolates, very approximately, the southern 10 miles, longitudinally, of the coastal area. And the A487 a road which divides the western half, latitudinally, by roughly 16km again. The remaining interior borders some considerably less busy northern coastline. Beneath we will explore all three sections.
The southern segment is dissimilar to the rest of the interior in terms of both geology and atmosphere. It is fair to suggest that this is Pembrokeshire's predominant tourist corridor, and attracts the a good number of holiday makers to the more agressively marketed areas like Barafundle Bay. Whilst it is completely possible to find places off the beaten track around here if you have intimate knowledge of the area, for the duration of the peak seasons this area is a hive of activity with plenty of popular things going on. This corridor for the most part is more geared at 'bucket and spade' family holidays.
The second corner of Pembrokeshire has a very different feel to it. Laying to the west, and being farther from the A40, it's an additional commute, but worth it. Even though it is still somewhat busy in certain locations, here you will start to discover the true hidden charms the locals do not want you to know about in Pembrokeshire. The atmosphere is rather more untamed and natural with gems like Abereiddy, but is still suitable for family holidays. The more north you travel on this coastline, the more wild and less tamed it feels. Perfect for those seeking to get away from it all and experience unspoilt, pastoral coastal living.
Now heading into the northern coastal tip of Pembrokeshire and the mid regions, you will find something different to the rest of the county's more famous coastal areas. This area, although still more than suitable for family holidays, is an area for those who possess an adventurous spirit and look for unspoilt beauty. Apart from a couple of well known beach resorts there are numerous small bays and sandy beaches to discover, and once found, you can expect to enjoy to yourself all day long with no disturbance. The mid region is dominated by the Preseli Hills and contiguous upland and foot hills. Still part of the National Coastal Park, they are quite often overlooked by tourists and have a drastically different feel to the more manicured southern region of Pembrokeshire. This area has striking vistas and a lonely feel, and dotted with prehistoric remains. It is an area with its agricultural ancestry still highly prevalent. Being the highest point in Pembrokeshire, once you hike the peak of Foel Cwmcerwyn, in good weather, you'll be greeted with views over the entire south west Wales peninsula, a splendid sight. On exceptionally clear days, you'll be able to see as far Swansea, Cambrian mountains and across to Ireland and the Wicklow mountains. The Preselis are surrounded by ubiquitous undulating Welsh hills and valleys that are scattered with small villages. Those seeking an authentic sample of Pembrokeshire will take pleasure in the heartland.
