Solva

Solva is a delightful little village on the south side of St Davids Peninsula. The village is split into two separate areas, Upper Solva and Lower Solva.

The steep sided valley that Solva occupies is a great example of a meltwater valley created by torrents of water coming off the retreating icesheets from the last ice age. The flooded valley then became a perfect sheltered harbour.

There is some parking next to the harbour but this can get busy in the height of summer. A short walk along The Gribbin provides one of the most fabulous views in the whole of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Only really rivalled by the view from the other side of the harbour!
