Spectacular scenery, varied landscapes, excellent walking and bird watching, peace and tranquility all found in the Marloes peninsular
The village of Marloes, with approximately 250 inhabitants is situated within the Pembrokeshire coast National Park (the only coastal National Park in the United Kingdom). It is ideally located for all sorts of leisure activities including: Walking, sailing, fishing, windsurfing, diving and bird-watching.
For divers the area is also a marine reserve and for the bird watcher a highly acclaimed area by many well known 'twitchers'. If none of this suits, you can relax in one of the numerous coves and beaches close by. Marloes sands are recognised as one of the finest and cleanest beaches in the country.
The village of Dale, known nationally for it's sailing and windsurfing is two miles away. Served by it's pub and restaurants overlooking the picturesque harbour.
Marloes is also the last stop before Martins Haven where you can catch the 'Dale Princess' sailing daily to the bird islands of Skomer and Skokholm. A short boat trip finds you on Skomer Island, home to one of the biggest breeding colonies of Puffins in the U.K. and in the early Spring and Summer a must for lovers of wild flowers. The whole island becomes a carpet and the hue of the bluebells can be seen from the mainland.
Spring comes early in Pembrokeshire, well under way in March and often starting in February. The Cliff path is a rolling mass of color for mile after mile, the flowers arrive much earlier than inland. Take time to watch the gannets diving for their food from incredible heights, see the seal pups newly born (mid-September onwards) and just take in the total un-spoilt beauty of it all.
