2017 has been declared the Year of Legends. Where better to visit than Pembrokeshire with its caves and castles and its magical award-winning bays?

Legends are all around you - in the Norse names of majestic rocks, in the saints that gave their names to churches and islands, and the many tales handed down for generations - of a ghostly princess, of a prince on the run, of smugglers and wreckers and corpse

candles.

What stories these shores could tell you! Stories of fish, coal and iron, pirates, Lifeboatmen, churchmen, fisherwomen and well-to-do Victorians coming to ‘take the waters’ for their health.

If you are a visitor, you are in good company; an illustrious list of visitors that includes artists Turner, Frith and Charles Norris; writers Daniel Defoe, Lewis Caroll, George Eliot, Dylan Thomas and Roald Dahl; naturalists Gosse and Huxley; and men of such high importance as Admiral Lord Nelson and Oliver Cromwell.

Whether you’ve brought your family to enjoy a traditional bucket-and-spade holiday, or you’re a photographer eager to snap up some award-winning views, a wildlife enthusiast or passionate historian, there is plenty to interest you all around.

Do you plan to get active on your holiday? Will it be cliff walking and drinking in those amazing views? Horse riding on the sands? Rock climbing, wind surfing, kayaking or coasteering? All these opportunities and more await you.

Let us at the Tenby Observer wish you a legendary holiday, filled with rich memories that will have you telling your own unique Pembrokeshire stories for many years to come.
