Latest News July 2021

So here we are, a half way through the year!

Scary!! Where has the time gone? Of course, this year is different, as we have only been open since the middle of May and things are still a little different.

Here’s things you will benefit from knowing if you’re coming or thinking of coming to Pembrokeshire over the next few months

Skomer & the Puffins

Yaay! The Puffin population has increased and at the recent count, we are at nearly 40,000 Puffins! How fantastic is that?

However, there is a downside, and as so many people are keen to visit, after not being allowed to last year, the tickets to visit are in short supply.

And soon, the Pufflings will be making an appearance! Check out the image above by the very talented Monica Doshi, a guest who has stayed with us several times, and who loves Skomer and the Puffins.

More tickets have just been added to actually land on Skomer as a Day Visitor-and cancellations do happen, so it’s good advice to keep checking the online booking site if you’d like to go

There are also boat trips around Skomer, and if you find that the day you want to go is already sold out, then it might be worth looking at Voyages of Discovery in St Davids, as they do a trip from there that comes down to Skomer. As this trip is not as well known (as yet) there are often tickets available here.

 

Best Tip: If you know you want to go, book your tickets as soon as you can

Eating Out

It is pretty busy in Pembrokeshire at the moment. Not Cornwall busy, I would have to say(thankfully!) but there is demand in the good places to eat.

My advice here is to book your evening meals before you arrive. Leaving it until you arrive will mean that your first, second and maybe even third choice will be already booked up.

Lunchtimes, there’s still scope for a late booking, but an evening will definitely need to be booked.

Best Tip: Plan where you’d like to eat and book it up before you get here

 

Heritage Walks & Milford Museum

I am delighted that this year the Museum on Milford Marina is now fully open after a long refurbishment. The outside of the museum now looks like it would have done back in 1797. Do pay it a visit for a few hours interactive fun(even for adults) and don’t forget to keep an eye out for ‘Feilds Parrallel Rule’ designed by one of the ancestors of Fields Lodge

And, hot off the press…well, it’s not even at the press yet…there are new ‘Heritage Walks’ to be enjoyed along Milford Marina.

There are 3 separate walks and they are interactive, so you can learn of Milford’s rich history whilst enjoying the surroundings.

Once the press release has gone live, I will write about it more fully.

So, these, together with the Quaker Walk around  Milford Haven will give you lots of interesting views and history to enjoy

Best Tip: Great for a colder/wet day-Milford Museum and all the lovely boutique shops at Milford Marina
