From donning your wetsuit and getting involved in Pembrokeshire’s plethora of coastal activities, through to mountain biking, rock-climbing or even eating adventurously, Pembrokeshire has a host of options to awaken the fearless explorer in you.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that it is widely accepted that Pembrokeshire, specifically around St Davids, is considered the birthplace of coasteering.
In the early 1980s, surfers in Pembrokeshire were scrambling around cliffs and experimenting with this activity, with TYF Adventure and Coasteering formally pioneering the sport at the Twr y Felin activity centre in 1986.
Since then, Pembrokeshire has solidified its reputation as the home of the sport, with many subsequent coasteering operators and locations emerging in the area.
