Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Halal Explorer

The Pembrokeshire National Park was created in 1952 and is the UK's only coastal national park. It follows the coast and also runs a small distance inland for most of the county of Pembrokeshire apart from the Milford Haven estuary due to the oil facilities located there. Its designation as a national park limits development and so the area has remained unspoilt despite its popularity as a tourist destination.

History

How is the Landscape of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

The landscape is known for its rugged cliffs and many sandy beaches that can be viewed from the coastal path which runs along the coast for the entirety of the national park.

Flora and fauna

Many of the offshore islands nearby have important colonies of seabirds that are resident for parts of the year, including gannets and puffins. Porpoise and seals are also frequently seen from the coastal path.

  • Skomer GPS: 51.73611,-5.29628 (Welsh: Ynys Sgomer) - National Nature Reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. Skomer, along with it's sister island Skokholm, is the home of the Pembrokeshire Puffins between mid March and the end of July, where 6000 pairs come to breed each year. The island is an excellent place to visit for sea birds. Skomer and Skokholm together attract the world's largest colony of Manx Shearwaters, with 120,000 breeding pairs on Skomer and a further 45,000 on Skokholm. During August and September the seals begin to have their pups around the island and the migrant birds begin to arrive. You can visit Skomer on a day trip or stay overnight whereby you will be able to hear the cacophony of returning shearwaters under darkness. The boat journey takes 15 minutes from Martin's Haven on the Dale Princess and sails every day (apart from Monday) between 1st April and 30th September each year.
  • Street Catherines GPS: 51.670556,-4.692222 (Welsh: Ynys Catrin)
