The Pembrokeshire Archipelago

The Pembrokeshire Islands are stunning and so rich in flora and fauna they are designated a special area of conservation (SAC). They are also set in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

 Created from ancient rocks 300-400 million years old and then moulded by the direct exposure to the harsh Atlantic Ocean they have been respected by many for centuries.

The Vikings, the Romans, the Spanish, the French and in later years the World War fleets all battled to round these Islands on their passages up and down St Georges Channel.

Nowadays the winter strong gales still constantly change and mould the coastline and the area is respected for its striking landscape and wildlife.

Closest inshore is Ramsey Island, a mile from the mainland and our most popular destination. A rumoured 1000 saints were buried on Ramsey Island and today it is an RSPB reserve.

Next out we have the Bishops and Clerks and then 9 miles out is Grassholm Island. Finaly 14 miles out is one of the most exposed lighthouses in the UK , the Smalls.

We visit all of the Pembrokeshire Islands listed here.
