Coast
Many of Britain’s National Parks have some coast in them, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is almost entirely coastal. Take a look at a map to see it includes a strip of between 2 and 3 miles wide right round the coast. This just underlines the special nature of the Pembrokeshire Coast and how it differs to areas such as Cornwall and Devon that don’t have National Parks to protect them.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority was established in 1952.
As well as looking after the Coast Path, they employ rangers, run an extensive programme of walks & talks and produce an annual newspaper called Coast to Coast.
They also operate: St Davids and Newport tourist information centres and a visitor centre in Tenby
