Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Rugged sea cliffs, sandy beaches and seabird islands on Wales's Pembrokeshire coast

Most of Pembrokeshire's coast lies inside the park, with limestone stacks, sea caves and the Preseli Hills inland. It is the only national park in the United Kingdom to consist largely of coastal landscapes.
