Broad Haven South Beach & Church Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Broad Haven South, with the iconic Church Rock just offshore, is a wide, soft sandy beach, with clear sea water, caves to explore, and springs gushing out of the cliffs.
Dunes a-plenty to explore, this beach is a slice of paradise off the Pembrokeshire coast. It has won the Seaside Award (Rural) 2019 and Green Coast Award 2019.

A narrow stone bridge marks the end of the Lily ponds and the entrance to the beautiful Broad Haven South beach.

The reedbed backing onto the bridge is particularly rich in birdlife. In summer it will likely be full of chattering Reed and Sedge Warblers and Water Rails. In winter you might see and hear bittern.

Bosherston Lily Ponds

Highlight • Natural

This small lake system is an absolutely glorious place to amble around and has plenty of birdlife to admire. Artificially created by damming a nearby river, the ponds have become well known for their exquisite summer displays of waterlilies. Dragonflies flit around in summer and there are plenty of aquatic animals to see if you're sharp-eyed.
