 Cardigan
Bay is located in Pembrokeshire – Britain’s Coastal National
Park Pembrokeshire, on the South West tip of Wales, it is
a spectacular coastal region, surrounded on three sides by
the sea. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park takes in the
entire coastal strip – the only national park in the UK to
be wholly coastal in nature and for good reason. The coastline
is stunning!
It's a spectacular landscape of cliffs, beaches, wooded estuaries
and wild inland hills, a place of sanctuary for wildlife.
People have shaped the landscape over the centuries, leaving
their mark in the form of tombs, castles, monuments, cottages,
quarries and quays. Today people and nature coexist in harmony
in this glorious part of Wales. The National Park Authority
looks after the area and helps the public to enjoy, understand
it, and works together with the local communities towards
a sustainable future.
  New
Quay
New Quay, with its magnificent beaches, is a picturesque
and internationally renowned resort village which was once
a prosperous ship building centre and fishing port. It still
retains the charm and history of those days and is filled
with Welsh hospitality waiting for you to discover and cherish.
Another interesting part of the area's history is the great
Dylan Thomas lived here. New Quay is thought to have been
Llaregubb, the "cliff-perched town at the far end of Wales"
in Under Milkwood.
