        General information about the Park and its history

  • Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was designated in 1952. It is unique in Britain as the only National Park which is predominantly coastal. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is one of Britain's smaller National Parks, covering approximately 240 square miles / 620 square km. around the West Coast of Wales. This ancient part of Britain attracts thousands of visitors to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park every year. Some of the oldest rocks in and around Britain are to be found around the Pembrokeshire Coast, dating back to, around 600 million years ago. The area was chosen as a National Park, principally because of its significance to the earth and science. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National route extends from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south; approximately 186 miles in length, most of which is within the National Park. Even for experienced walkers it is quite a challenge, but brings endearing rewards with spectacular seascapes and some of the best coastal scenery in Britain. (2)

(ii)  Pebbles shapes will be rounder and textures smoother in Amroth as well.

     (iv)  Further east beach sizes will increase, where the stones are moving across the coast.

     2. The advantages of people’s impact on the park outweigh the disadvantages.

     3. Towns inside of the National Park are more populated than towns outside the National Park

Method
