Pembrokeshire
(Pevsner Buildings of Wales S.)
Tour Pembrokeshire. This authoritative guide to the southwest
corner of Wales by three local experts encompasses a wide sweep
of history, from the rugged prehistoric remains that stud the
distinctive windswept landscape overlooking the Atlantic, to
distinguished recent buildings that respond imaginatively to
their natural setting. The comprehensive gazetteer encompasses
the great cathedral of St David's and its Bishop's Palace, the
numerous churches, and the magnificent Norman castles that reflect
the turbulent medieval past. It gives attention also to the
lesser-known delights of Welsh chapels, both simple rural and
sophisticated Victorian examples, in all their wayward variety
and provides detailed accounts of a rewarding range of towns,
including the county town, Haverfordwest, the unspoilt Regency
resort of Tenby, and Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock, with their
important naval history. An introduction with valuable specialist
contributions sets the buildings in context.
Pembrokeshire
Coast
Tour Pembrokeshire. Pembrokeshire has attained National Park
status due to its coastal scenery and offshore islands. This
guide does not only feature the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, but
also the beaches, the coastline, the historic and cultural sites,
and the best places to see seals, sea birds and dolphins.
Walking
in Pembrokeshire: 40 Walks in the National Park (Cicerone British
Walking S.)
Walking Wales. The spectacular coastal scenery of Pembroke's
national park is only one of the county's many facets explored
in this collection of 40 varied and interesting walks. The routes
take you through the Preseli Hills, from which ancient man took
the 'bluestones' for Stonehenge, the Daugleddau's hidden tidal
reaches, once busy with coal barges, deep wooded gorges, whose
fast-flowing streams powered long-forgotten mills, prehistoric
hill forts, medieval castles, isolated churches and many intriguing
places that await discovery. With 40 routes ranging between
2 and 12 miles (20km), there is something for everyone, often
incorporating places to visit or a welcoming pub or cafe en
route.
Pembrokeshire

Sir Benfro) is the 179-mile (2280km) National Trail around Wales's

the trail makes its way from St Dogmaels around the coast, past
the lovely towns of St David's and Tenby, to Amroth. This is
