Discover Pembrokeshire.

 

Directions and How To Get Here

 

We believe Pembrokeshire is the UK’s most beautiful county. It has the only Coastal National Park in the UK with 186 miles of uninterrupted coastal footpath and boasting a whole host of long sandy ‘Blue Flag’ beaches, towering cliffs, wooded inland estuaries and wild Preseli hills. Pembrokeshire has long been a place of sanctuary for both people and wildlife.

 

In our National Park, we have over 65 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and 60 percent of the coastline and estuaries have special protection as the most precious environmental areas in Europe. We have six national nature reserves with the island of Skomer being one of only three Marine Nature Reserves in Britain.

 

Bluestone is located in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, nestled between the Preseli Mountains to the north and the breathtaking Pembrokeshire Coast to the south. Bathed by the warmth of the Gulf Stream, our milder winters create our own micro climate producing a vast array of scenery and activities for you to enjoy. Its a county of heritage and culture where people have shaped the landscape over the centuries, leaving their mark in tombs and castles, crosses and cottages, quarries and quays.

 

Our northern boundary touches the Eastern Cleddau River which unites with the Western Cleddau to form the Daugleddau estuary, meaning ‘Two swords’ in Welsh, together they flow into the historic harbour of Milford Haven. Known locally as the “Secret Waterway” it extends 28 miles from the coast into the heart of Pembrokeshire, where you’ll find hidden treasures, such as secluded inlets, little villages, quays and woodlands.

 

The waterway is a nature reserve that has steep wooded banks giving home to many rare birds and animals and its hedgerows are ablaze with wild flowers. To the east and west of the site are forested areas. Canaston Wood, originally part of the historical Slebech Estate, is classed as ‘ancient woodland’ indicating that it has been in existence for at least 300 years. The woods are home to otters, badgers and a multitude of birds and insects and wild flowers alongside the forest tracks and paths.
