The Coast The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, situated in south west Wales, has 620 square kilometres (240 square miles) of outstanding river, hill and coastal scenery, many off shore islands, expanses of remote and unspoilt vistas and Area of Special Scientific Interest (SSI) including Britain's first Marine Conservation Area. The stunning coastline can be seen at its best from the spectacular 299 km (186 mile) Coast Path. Stretching from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south. The Beaches No other region has more Blue Flag beaches, Green Coast or Seaside awards. Golden sands and crystal clear waters are the hallmark of Pembrokeshire beaches and with over 50 to choose from you will always find something new to discover. The Islands The coastline is dotted with islands - Skomer, Skokholm, Grassholm, Ramsey, and Caldey - named by Viking Invaders. Caldey houses a Cistercian monastery, whilst the other islands are famed for their seabird colonies (including the famous puffins), rich carpets of spring flowers, and Atlantic grey seals. The Preseli Hills In the north of the Park the Preseli Hills rise to 536m (1,760 ft). Among the hills are standing stones, hill forts and ancient trade routes, signifying the importance of this area in the prehistory of Wales. The views from the top of the Hills are superb - on a clear day much of Pembrokeshire is visible, whilst below lies the secluded and richly wooded Gwaun Valley.
