There’s a reason it’s a National Park! If you’re a fan of dramatic sea-views, then the Pembrokeshire Coast in South West Wales will not disappoint. It’s Britain’s only coastal national park, with almost 300 kilometres of beautiful landscapes: beaches, coves, cliffs and headlands, you name it. And if you’re a fan of walking, there’s a coastal path that winds its way along every stretch of the coast!
One of the most rugged sections of the coastline is Pen Caer, characterised by its soaring cliffs and rocky outcrops. The seas here can be treacherous: over the centuries, several ships have been wrecked and many lives lost in these waters. So it’s no surprise that a lighthouse was built at Strumble Head in 1908, its light guiding ships around the peninsula. Standing tall atop the island of Ynys Meicel, Strumble Head Lighthouse was one of the very last lighthouses to be built in Britain.
Even if you’re not a lighthouse enthusiast, Strumble Head is a stunning place to visit – especially when the sun sets and the lighthouse beam swings through the purpled sky. Sound good? Well this tea towel captures exactly that!
