Pembrokeshire has so much to offer, from quiet beaches to fun parks. There's so much to see and do - a few ideas are given below.

At Little Haven you are only a short distance from the magical Skomer Island, which is home to fulmars, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes, oystercatchers, choughs and possibly the largest colony of manx shearwaters in the world. Puffins nest in burrows on the cliff-top and wander across the paths right up to your feet. Make sure you have plenty of batteries in your cameras - you'll take lots of photos of these comical birds.

The waters around Skomer are part of the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve, one of only three such reserves in the UK. Enjoy your lunch on the cliff-top and watch the dolphins, seals and common porpoises, feeding on fish in the swirling waters below.

If you're lucky you may even catch sight of a basking shark. Spring or early summer is the best time to see the wonderful display of flowers including bluebells, sea campion, red campion, thrift and heather. This is also the best time to see the puffins as this is when they bring sand eels back to their young.

There are numerous other beaches in the area including St Bride's, Whitesands, Newport, Marloes, Freshwater West, Broad Haven South, Tenby and Saundersfoot. Surfing and windsurfing are popular activities, especially at Freshwater West.

If you're a scuba diver the area has many wrecks and islands to explore. There are several dive operators in the area, Dive Pembrokeshire, is located approximately 6 miles away at Milford Haven. If you fancy the experience of horse riding through the surf along the beaches then the local riding stables are only fifteen minutes away. Some of our guests have spent an enjoyable day with them.

If you like castles and history, then you'll be spoilt for choice, with Pembroke Castle, St David's Cathedral, Pentre Ifan prehistoric burial ground and Black Pool Mill - although we are biased towards Carew Castle and Carew French Tidal Mill (Jonathan's home village!) Here you will also find the tallest Celtic Cross in Wales but there are others such as Nevern Cross.

Oakwood Leisure Park (mini version of Alton Towers), Heatherton (country sports park), Folly Farm, Manor House Wildlife Park are some of the major attractions for families.

If you fancy a walk away from the sea, then there is the wonderfully scenic and oak wooded Gwaun Valley, with its blanket of bluebells in the spring, the open landscape of the Preseli Hills from where bluestones were transported to help construct Stonehenge, and countless other walks along rivers, estuaries, through woods and little valleys in a continuously varying rural landscape.

If you're travelling to Pembrokeshire along the M4 why not drop into the National Botanic Gardens of Wales near Carmarthen or take a slight detour to the historical Aberglasney Gardens near Llandeilo only a few miles off the M4.
