The Area
A place untouched wild and enchanting. Not a line from a poetry book, but just one way you
could describe the beauty and atmosphere enjoyed at Fishguard Bay Caravan Park.
Set high on majestic cliffs, with breath taking views over Pembrokeshire's "Heritage
Coast", it certainly does have a unique position which can be enjoyed safely by young
and old alike.Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
Pembrokeshire, because of its situation on the west edge of "Green Wales",
enjoys a relatively mild climate. Rich in flora and fauna, Pembrokeshire is a paradise for bird and animal watchers alike. Hedgerows boast
tall, willowy foxgloves in Spring and early Summer, along with a wide variety of colourful
wild flowers. Later in the year the purple haze of heather carpeting the hills is truly beautiful, as is the yellow flowering gorse. Indeed each season brings its
own blend of native plants and small mammals. With many small off-shore islands, birds
such as cormorants, gannets and gulls enjoy an undisturbed habitat. Other local wildlife
include the grey seal, puffins, and occasionally porpoises or dolphins may be seen
swimming by. On land, whilst traveling down the road to the park, it is not unusual to
sight a badger, pheasant, or perhaps some rabbits scurrying to their warren.
Inland , the wild and gently rolling Preseli Hills, ideal for walking, are the
centre-piece of Pembrokeshire and attract walkers and ramblers from across the country.
Nearer to the coast, the paths which traverse the rugged cliffs and beaches are vantage
points for some of the most spectacular views of the area.
Steeped in Ancient Celtic history, Pembrokeshire is a fascinating memorial to its Celtic
past. The burial chamber of Pentre Ifan, numerous standing stones and a reconstructed Iron
Age settlement at Castle Henllys serve as a poignant reminder of a proud heritage. Add
this to all the other assets the Pembrokeshire National Park has to offer and it is little
wonder generations past and present enjoy its beauty.
