Pembroke, Wales
Northern Europe & Baltic
Pembroke on Wales’ west coast (approximately an hour from Swansea) will instantly steal your heart. long stretches of sandy beach and heather clad rocks will lift your mood, while crashing waves against the same beaches will soothe and energise you in equimeasure. And that’s before you have even arrived on shore. With a bit of luck, the famous Welsh weather will be on your side and nature lovers will be able to fill up on sea breeze and stunning coastal scenery. View less Wildlife spotters will be happy too, as Pembroke is home to puffins, dolphins, porpoises and grey seals (and the occasional whale or shark) and are often spotted from the 186-mile headland path. The town’s rich history is another reason why Pembroke is Wales’ de facto holiday destination. Henry VII of England (aka Henry Tudor) was born here in 1457 and the town’s pride and joy is the picturesque, history-laden Pembroke Castle. Built in 1093 by Arnulf de Montgomery, the long history of the castle is second to none and anyone who enjoys stepping into the past will soon be lost in the tumultuous tales of the past. Colourful painted buildings line the main street, while independent boutiques offer much in the way of souvenirs. Woollen wares take pride of place, but don’t overlook the local jewellery made with rare welsh gold (all royal brides have had their wedding rings made with welsh gold since 1932). Tea shops and of course homely, hearty pubs are warm and welcoming, so if the weather does turn bad, you’ll be spoilt for choice for shelter.
