Things to See and Do in the Area
Walking and Wild Life
A short walk (10 minutes) from the studio by ancient footpath brings you to Open Access heathland and craggy peaks behind Treleddyd Fawr where there are often Welsh Mountain ponies grazing. From here the 360 degree panorama offers distant views of the Preseli Hills, many offshore islands and occasionally Snowdonia and Ireland. It is a 5 minute descent to the north coast path and less than an hour along the path to St Davids Head. The many inaccessible beaches below the path on the first part of this walk contain the best seal pup colonies on the peninsula between August and December. Chough are usually to be heard and seen in the adjacent fields. Peregrine Falcons cruise this area towards the head when feeding their young and Kestrels hunt around the cliffs. Gannets diving to feed in the waters of this area often indicate passing porpoise doing likewise.
The coast offers a colourful display of wild flowers from spring to early autumn.
As well as the Ordinance Survey maps provided in the studio there are a collection of the more local circular walks in the National Park.
All 200 circular walks in the National Park can be accessed from here

Further afield the Preseli Hills or wooded valleys of the Gwaun Valley or Daugleddau Estuary offer contrasting walks.
Historic Buildings and Prehistoric Sites
There has been a church nestled in the beautiful Alun valley since the 6th Century and on the site today sits the cathedral, built in the 12th century and the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, built in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Choral Evensong is sung in the cathedral Sunday to Friday at 6pm (4pm on Sunday), on Thursday and Sunday by the full cathedral choir.

Prehistoric settlements are evident on St Davids Head with Neolithic burial chambers, ancient field patterns and the remains of an Iron Age fort.
Further afield, Pembrokeshire offers a rich heritage of Norman castles including those at Pembroke, Carew, Manorbier, Llawhaden and Cilgerran.
Arts and Crafts
The National Park Visitor Centre at Oriel y Parc in St Davids is home to Amgeuddfa Cymru-National Museum of Wales in Pembrokeshire. They exhibit works from the national collection and frequently some from other galleries such as The Tate Gallery in London. The exhibitions change biannually and usually include several of Graham Sutherland's works.
In addition, there are several galleries in St Davids exhibiting and selling work by local artists.
Nearby are two traditional working woollen mills. at Middle Mill, Solva and Tregwynt Woollen Mill, St Nicholas
Boat Trips
A trip to land on Skomer Island in May and June offers the opportunity to get close to Puffins as they set up nests and feed their young. Although the Puffins steal the stage, there are many different nesting seabirds to be seen and the island is covered in a sea of Bluebells in May followed by Red Campion.

A landing on Ramsey Island will also afford a great experience. Owned and managed by the RSPB it is home to many seabirds and being less popular than Skomer, offers a quieter experience in a dramatic setting. Island landings are only offered by Thousand Islands boat company
There are several other companies offering round island boat trips including
Watersports
Pembrokeshire is one of the best locations in Wales for coastal adventure sports with several companies offering half day and full day courses in coasteering, kayaking, canoeing and surfing e.g.
