Throw yourself off cliffs, venture into caves, and scramble over boulders while enjoying the stunning views. Preseli Venture offers coasteering trips, taking you to the best hidden spots along the northern coast of Pembrokeshire.

Visit St Davids Cathedral, a magnificent medieval structure with soaring purple-stoned pillars and intricate coffered ceilings. Inside, you’ll find a shrine that is said to contain the bones of Wales’ patron saint. Keep an eye out for concerts held at the cathedral, which bring its sacred halls to life with beautiful music.
- Hang out with puffins on Skomer A visit to Skomer Island during the breeding season (April to July) offers a unique opportunity to see puffins up close. This rugged island is home to around 6,000 pairs of these adorable birds. Observe puffins on the water, in burrows, and soaring above the cliffs. If you visit in September and October, you may also catch a glimpse of Atlantic grey seal pups resting on the rocks. Book in advance to stay overnight at the Old Farm for an immersive wildlife experience.
- Enjoy a prehistoric walk in the Preseli Hills For nature enthusiasts and history buffs, the Preseli Hills offer a captivating experience. Explore the lonesome moorland and craggy landscapes on the seven-mile Golden Road trail. Along the way, you’ll encounter standing stones, including the Carn Menyn, believed to be the source of the bluestones used at Stonehenge. Don’t miss Pentre Ifan, an intact burial chamber and one of Wales’ most famous megalithic sites.
- Walk on the wild side of the coast to St Govan’s Chapel Experience the untamed beauty of Pembrokeshire’s southern coast by hiking along the coast path to St Govan’s Chapel.
