As seen on BBC Blue Peter, Pebble Mill, Land Of Dreams, Active 8 etc etc Another favorite this Voyage goes that little bit more in exploring our islands and their spectacular features. ” For over 20 years this has ben the annual family must do on holiday – as they say – spectacular” R Harries QC The Ramsey Island Voyage is very special – the 2 hour spectacular is that little bit more. It encompasses all the caves, rock gorges, birds, seals and porpoises of Ramsey and then a visit St Davids Head, into St Bay or to the Bishops and Clerks. The two hour allows that little more time to discover and explore the wildlife over a greater area.

Manor House Wildlife Park. Enjoy Pembrokeshire. Whether you are planning a cycle-touring holiday with panniers and a tent, or a short family ride, Pembrokeshire offers a huge choice of routes to suit all. It has been said that cycling is nothing but running sitting down! But what’s the hurry? It’s not just a sport for lycra-clad racers. It’s a safe, efficient, healthy, environmentally-friendly form of transport in its own right. It’s also a great social activity, and the ideal way to explore the National Park. Some areas are suitable for true off-road mountain biking, particularly the Preseli Hills and the woodlands around Canaston Bridge and Stackpole.
Yes, there may be hills, but with good route planning, and a modern bike with lots of gears (and lots of stops to enjoy the views) they are only obstacles in your mind. Top Tip Please plan your routes carefully. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - Home.
