DH and I are off to Pembrokeshire in September. Could I have your recommendations for places to go/things to see/places to eat etc. We like history, walking, birds, not bothered by a bit of wet weather.

If you like walking, there are the Preseli Mountains, which I think is about 7miles in total (could be wrong). Then there is the coastal path.

History wise, there is Pentre Ifan (Burial Chamber), there are castles like Carew, Cilgerran, Llawhaden, Picton, Pembroke, and there are loads of smaller ones. There is a wildlife centre in Cilgerran - it's a trail with hides to watch the birds, water buffalo and otters. There is Castell Henllys. There is also St David's Cathedral, which is in a lovely little place and plenty of places to get food. Mwnt is nice, but it is narrow roads to get there.

For beaches, whitesands is not far from St David's and is nice, there are many beaches around. Tenby beach is usually very busy but nice. Saundersfoot is lovely but the carpark can be expensive so can the food.

If you head into Cardigan, Pendre Cafe (Fish & Chips - Freshly Cooked) is the one I would recommend, it is on the high street. Gwbert is not far from here, you can sit and look over the water. Fishguard and Goodwich is ok. There is a harbour in Goodwich (large carpark), there is the Ocean Lab, which does lovely food. If you are just looking for a nicely cooked lunch, you could try Caffi Becca in Efailwen (not sure if you have to ring up and book).

There are so many different places. Hope this helps.

Sorry about the spelling. I think I got carried away Grin

Try and go to Tenby. Catch a boat to Caldey Island and then head for Priory Bay and St Margaret's Island – a nature reserve with grey seals and seabirds. Return to Tenby for lunch on the terrace ofThe Salt Cellar. The Tudor Merchant’s House and Tenby Museum and Art Gallery are other popular attractions.
From Tenby it’s about a 30 minute drive to Stackpole, where you can park and take a half-mile walk over cliffs and dunes to Barafundle Bay on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
From there it’s a 15-minute drive to Carew Castle. Walk to the preserved tidal mill, then head west along the coastal road around St Brides Bay.
Visit St Davids Cathedral and then mooch around art galleries in St David’s – such as Goat Street Gallery. There’s also a magnificent hour-long circular walk around St David’s Head (with views of Ramsey Islandj that leads to an Iron Age hill fort and Neolithic burial chamber.
On Dinas Island there’s a really pretty National Trust circular walk along the cliffs.

All the above plus Marloes sands and walks on the cliffs above

Walk from Goodwick to Pwll Deri. You'll go past the monument to the last invasion of Britain and a lighthouse. If you're lucky, the seals might have started having their pups at Pwll Deri.

Tregwynt wollen mill, for the history and beautiful blankets. You can walk down through the trees to a beach from there.

There are boat trips from St Justinians around Ramsey Island, which is a RSBP reserve.

Just to add another castle to the list: Manorbier is where they filmed the BBC Narnia series - they used to have photos up of filming in the castle!
