    Solva Coast
    Within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, between Newgale to the south-east and St David's to the west
    Prehistory  Iconic views or viewpoints  Coast  1970 
    A rugged stretch of coastline which has seen countless shipwrecks, interrupted by gentle valleys and Solva's pretty village and harbour
     
    • Eleven miles of spectacular coastal path
    • The pretty village of Solva is conveniently situated halfway along the coastline
    • Fascinating prehistoric fort at Porth-y-Rhaw
    • The Gribin, a fantastic headland overlooking Solva village

    What's new this year
    Look out for the Welsh Mountain ponies along the coast; traditional grazing methods here help to restore the coastal heathland.
     
     
    Solva Harbour
    Sailing boats at anchor in the sheltered inlet at Upper Solva, with trim houses up on the hill and between the hills.
    The perfect starting point for exploration of the village or to take a walk up onto the Gribin headland (for the magnificent views) and down to Gwadyn beach. SM806243
    Nine Wells Valley
    A steep valley down to the sea, with the coastal fort of Porth-y-Rhaw at the bottom. From here fine walks lead in both directions along the coast. SM787248

    St Elvis Farm to Pen-y-Cwm
    Looking north west to St Elvis Cliffs, with the village of Solva beyond. In the distance is Carn Llidi, the highest point of St David's Head, almost all N.T. land.
    This magnificent stretch of coast includes the spectacular jutting headlands of Dinas Fawr and Dinas Fach, linking Solva to Newgale. SM803236 to SM840230
    Caerbwdy Valley
    A beautiful sheltered valley running down to the sea, only 1 mile east of St David's. Stone is still cut from the seaward end of the valley for repairs to St David's Cathedral, which is largely built from the distinctive red rock. SM767245
