The sea surrounds Wales
on three of its sides. Its 750-mile (1,200-km) coastline is infinitely
varied, a succession of beaches and bays, headlands and harbours. Much
of the coastline is rich in natural beauty - Pembrokeshire, for example,
is home to Britain's only coastal-based National Park, and there are
hundreds of miles of seashore which have been declared 'Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty' and 'Heritage Coast'. From north to south the coast is
dotted with award-winning beaches where the cleanliness of the sands
and waters complements the superb surroundings. The 186 mile (299km) coastal Path meanders through some of the most
ruggedly pictureseque scenery in the world with outstanding views of
charming in-lets leading peacful golden beaches, mysterious smugglers
caves and spectacular natural formations such as the Green Bridge of
Wales shaped by time and tide. The beauty of Pembrokeshire is no way deminished by seasonal change,
it is equally beautiful during sunny days (practically guaranteed by
one of the best sunshine records in Britain) and wild winter days where
conditions are perfect for a brisk walk and home to a roaring fire. |
