Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was designated in 1952 and is one of three National Parks in Wales. The others are the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.
The Park is managed by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, which has around 130 staff and a committee of 15 Members.
It is Britain's only truly coastal National Park, covering 240 sq miles (620 sq km) of spectacular landscape around Wales' south-western shore.
Its stunning scenery, wealth of wildlife and fascinating history make it a very special place to explore and enjoy.
Pembrokeshire Coast Path
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail covers 186 miles (299km) of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Britain. It was Wales' first long-distance route, opened in 1970 and is one of 15 premier long-distance National Trails in England and Wales. 85% of the route is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
The National Park Authority maintains the Path with funding from the Countryside Council for Wales and the Welsh Assembly.
