Friendly villages with outstanding sea views. Mathry has a shop, tea room, pub, antique shop and a woodturner. There is an unusual church, pub and village green from which high-hedged lanes splay out towards the bays of Abercastle and Abermawr. An excellent centre from which to explore the north coast.

One of the best ways of seeing it is on a bike; these can be hired from Preseli Venture, near Mathry. Abercastle has always been a much loved place with the regular guests. Until 1995, the Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire office was located in a lovely stone workshop on the beach. We all miss the regular visits from guests who popped in on their way back to their cottages to report the sighting of a peregrine, chough, dolphin or seal pup.

The inlet is multi-purpose with small fishing and leisure craft moored, while great family games are carried out on the sand and shingle beach. Walk around the cliff path to Aberfelin, below Trefin village, which takes about an hour.
