In addition to idyllic beaches, the park includes deep wooded valleys and tranquil estuaries, as well as a marine nature reserve. There is greater variety of geological and landform scenery in the park than in any other area of the same size in the British Isles, and it is an essential sanctuary for many of Britain's seabird species. There are also important archaeological sites in the park, from Iron Age hill forts and standing stones to the spectacular cathedral of St Davids, as Pembrokeshire has been consistently inhabited by humans since the Neolithic period. Jonathan Mullard explores the evolving landscape and observes its effects on its native species and habitats. He provides a detailed examination of the geology of the region and the integration of the archaeological and historic landscape with the natural landscape and its fauna. Covering the vast diversity of Pembrokeshire's beaches and forests, rivers and waterfalls, moorland and farmland, caves and cathedrals, he provides an overview of man's influence on the natural environment over the centuries and the ongoing conservation of the area. The culmination of years of research, New Naturalist Pembrokeshire is an inspiring exploration of this diverse and fascinating area". .

There is immense variety in both the scenery and natural life of the Pembrokeshire coast, and its exploration can be equally satisfying for serious walkers and those more inclined to potter. At any time of the year there is much to see as the continuing cycle of nature successively reveals its different moods and aspects. This guide is designed to assist in the planning of a long-distance walk as well as to provide a companion to point out some of the interesting features along the way. The contorted nature of the coast creates many sections that can conveniently be walked on a day basis, and a separate chapter suggests some possibilities.An accommodation guide, distance charts and access and transport points provide additional information, together with an informative introduction (which includes the region's geology, history, flora and fauna, topography and weather conditions). The long-distance walk is divided into 15 clear sections of between 7 and 19 miles.

In this richly illustrated and engagingly written book, Jamie Owen sets out to explore, via footpaths, B-roads, byways and railway tracks, one of the fastest changing countries within the British Isles. The first part of the journey follows the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with its views of offshore islands, tiny fishing villages and forgotten farmsteads. Beginning at Poppit Sands, Jamie travels through St Dogmaels, Moylgrove and Newport before reaching the picturesque lighthouse of Strumble Head. After a brief foray to experience the sights and sounds of Cardiff, Jamie delves into the neighbouring countryside, exploring St Hilary's church and two castles before arriving in the coastal town of Llantwit Major. This is the land that time forgot, off the tourist trail and lost in a world you thought had passed. Further north, the Menai Strait is followed by a trip to a town with one of the longest placenames in the world, locally shortened to Llanfair PG, itself followed by Llandudno, that proud and haughty Victorian seaside town. Jamie marvels at the artwork of Rex Whistler at Plas Newydd before ascending the Marquess of Anglesey's Column and taking in the Italianate architecture of Portmeirion - that fantasy village captured on camera in The Prisoner. The vast expanse of the national park beckons next, with a few days spent climbing in Snowdonia to witness the difficult marriage of farming and millions of tourists being played out beneath the highest mountain in England and Wales. With detours to the most beautiful places in Wales, and with stunning photography throughout, this book takes readers on a fascinating journey and adds up to an unashamed celebration of Wales written by someone who loves it from the inside.
