Saundersfoot is one of Pembrokeshire’s finest holiday resorts packing lots of energy and events into a charming and pretty little village. Originally developed as a harbour for the export of coal and iron, Saundersfoot even had its own trams to take the iron and coal to the ships. Today we can take the footpath from the Beach Hut through the original tunnels to Coppet Hall beach and onto Saundersfoot village.

Buses run from Heritage Park to Saundersfoot and there is a more regular service that stops just before the turning to Kilgetty for the short walk downhill to Heritage Park.

Tenby is wonderful! Steeped in history there is something for everyone. It has two and half miles of open sandy beaches and 14th century town walls.
The town walls were built by the Earls of Pembroke to keep the Welsh out and protect the harbour! During the Wars of the Roses Henry Tudor, the future King Henry VII hid in Tenby before making his escape by boat.
In 1566 Tenby was the first place in Wales to import oranges from Portugal!
Tenby became a fashionable holiday resort after the Napoleonic Wars. It is a picturesque and beautiful place. There are great places to shop and eat and some good real ale pubs to quench your thirst. The two bays with the castle on the headland have wonderful beaches and the harbour is one of the most famous sites in Wales.
It’s an easy journey by car or you can take the bus from the site. If you are feeling adventurous you can also take the nine mile walk along the coastal path but be warned its three hours of very hard work.
