Scenic Place in Pembrokeshire

Ramsey Island is a National Nature Reserve and RSPB reserve off the Pembrokeshire coast near St David's, separated from the mainland by the treacherous tidal races of Ramsey Sound. Covering approximately 650 acres, the island supports one of the largest grey seal colonies in the country, breeding choughs, peregrines and short-eared owls, and rare coastal grassland plants. The autumn seal pupping season when white-coated pups are born in the island's caves and beaches attracts considerable numbers of wildlife boat trips from St Justinian's on the nearby mainland. Boat trips to the island operate throughout the season allowing visitors to land and walk under RSPB supervision. The surrounding waters of Ramsey Sound are nationally renowned for wildlife boat trips offering observations of porpoises, dolphins, grey seals and seabirds.

Skomer Island is a National Nature Reserve and RSPB reserve off the Pembrokeshire coast, one of the most important seabird islands in the North Atlantic and the most accessible puffin colony in Britain. The island supports one of the largest puffin colonies in the UK, with around 360,000 pairs nesting in burrows across the clifftops and slopes each summer, alongside one of the largest Manx shearwater colonies in the world, with over 300,000 pairs nesting underground. Grey seals breed on the rocky shores in autumn, and the island also supports significant populations of short-eared owls, peregrines and various raptors and seabirds. Day trips to Skomer operate from Martin's Haven near Marloes from April to October, with limited overnight stays available. The extraordinary concentration of wildlife and the beautiful coastal setting make Skomer one of the finest wildlife destinations in Britain.

Tenby is one of the finest and most beautifully preserved medieval walled towns in Wales, situated on a rocky headland on the south Pembrokeshire coast with four beaches of exceptional quality and one of the most attractive townscapes in Britain. The medieval walls enclosing much of the historic town centre, though partially restored, remain substantially complete and give the town a distinctive enclosed character that sets it apart from most British seaside resorts. The colourful Georgian and Victorian terraces lining the medieval street plan, the harbour where fishing boats and pleasure craft mingle, the ruins of the Norman castle on the headland and the nearby Tudor Merchant's House together create a heritage townscape of considerable quality. Tenby has been a popular resort since the eighteenth century and continues to attract visitors drawn by its combination of medieval heritage, coastal beauty, seafood restaurants and the traditional seaside atmosphere that makes it one of the most quintessentially enjoyable towns in Wales.
