EARLY SPRING/SUMMER IN PEMBROKESHIRE April and May is a colourful and often warmer time of year with lots of flowers out on the hedgerows and along coastal paths. The lilies at Bosherston Pools are in bloom in June, while puffins, razorbills, etc make an early summer appearance on nearby islands, most of which can be visited by boat. Many family attractions in the area have undercover facilities for when the weather is not so favourable.

TRANSPORT

A special bus service called the "Coastal Cruiser" operates along the county's south west coast and passes through Freshwater East on a circular route based at Pembroke Dock. The bus can carry surf boards, bikes & wheelchairs. From May to Sep there are three services in each direction seven days a week. In the winter months there is a more limited service.

During the summer the walled area within Tenby is pedestrianised in order to provide a "cafe culture" atmosphere. From early July to early Sept park & ride facilities are provided from two car parks on the approaches to the town centre.

ACCESS

Nearly all the coast path is freely accessible all the time. However at the army ranges at Castlemartin there are restrictions. The eastern part is normally open at weekends and on certain other days (the local paper gives firing times).The western section is only open to special accompanied groups and climbers with permits. The national park authority provides guided walks through this area on certain days.

The national cycle trail, route 4, passes through Lamphey. From there, going east, it reaches Tenby and then it's mostly offroad to Amroth via the coastal tunnels. Going west, it reaches Pembroke and then all of it is offroad to Haverfordwest via the Haven Bridge, with an offroad spur to Milford Haven. From the X-roads at the top of Fresh'east a quiet "access only" road leads to Lamphey and the national trail . Mind you, getting up to the X-roads from the beach area is a bit of a challenge!

Depending on the tide, boats sail either from Tenby harbour or from the beach to the south, starting at 10 am. The island is open to visitors Mon.- Fri. from Easter to October, and Sat. from May to Sep. but closed on Sundays.
