Pembrokeshire - Local Facilities & Attractions

Eating Out

There are no shops or hostelries in Cwm-yr-Eglwys beyond the ice cream van that visits daily in the summer months. Within a 15 minute walk through the valley (or 1 1/2 hours around the headland of Dinas Island) there is the Old Sailors, a very good pub/restaurant serving local lobster, crab and fish. Further afield in Newport there are some wonderful restaurants and bars.

Shopping

The small shop in Dinas provides most essentials and Newport has a very good butcher, small fishmonger (on road down to the Parrog) small supermarket, delicatessen and chemist. Fishguard is much larger and also has a weekly farmers market on Saturdays.

Wild Life

The Pembrokeshire National Park is rich in flora, particularly in early summer when the spectacular cliffs around Dinas Island are a perfect breeding ground for many sea birds, kestrels and peregrine falcons. From the cliff path, sightings of seals, porpoises and dolphins are frequent and can occasionally be seen swimming in Cwm-yr-Eglwys bay at high tide
