Rural bliss, yet so close to the sea

For those of you new to Pembrokeshire, you will discover that it is one of Britain’s best kept secrets. All the charm and beauty of Cornwall but with fewer visitors. Additionally, it offers the attraction of a local welsh culture with its own living celtic language - often heard in the area.

The Pembrokeshire National Park possesses many hundreds of miles of marked footpaths, the most famous of which is the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. 180 miles of stunning scenery, most of which is within easy reach of Roch Mill. Other attractions include countless gallaries, several mills (woollen and corn), a number of museums and exhibitions, and many, many super pubs. The area is ancient in geological terms being mostly Carboniferous and older, with huge chunks of St Davids peninsular being over 1 billion years old. There are many sites of special geological interest. Fantastic natural features abound – rock bridges and arches, caves, volcanic pinnacles, ancient quarries and mine workings, one or more lime kilns adorn practically every beach. Sandy coves, rock pools, twisted and faulted rock abound all along the coast.
