‘Best UK holiday spot’ has ‘breathtaking’ beaches

There’s no need to go to all the trouble of flying somewhere abroad if you’re seeking a gorgeous coastal holiday with plenty to see and do for the whole family, according to travel experts. 

Pembrokeshire has been hailed as the top UK destination for a July holiday by consumer experts at Which?, thanks to its pleasant temperatures, breathtaking beaches and fantastic places to stay. 

Often referred to as ‘Cornwall without the crowds’, this south-west Wales spot is perfect if you’re seeking a peaceful coastal holiday without the masses.

Plus, July is reportedly the best time to visit and chance the unpredictable Welsh weather, with daily temperatures hovering around 20C, reports Wales Online.

Whether you’re planning a family adventure or a tranquil solo journey, Pembrokeshire offers something for everyone and is a favourite among both locals and tourists. 

The historic harbour town of Tenby and the quaint city of St Davids have both scored highly in Which?’s survey of best UK seaside towns, while nearby Barafundle Bay boasts one of Britain’s most beautiful beaches – think crystal-clear waters and secluded, dune-backed sands.

Beyond the breathtaking scenery, Pembrokeshire offers plenty of attractions.

History buffs can explore castles such as Pembroke Castle or Picton Castle, immersing themselves in the rich local culture.

The area boasts a wealth of nationally acclaimed galleries and museums, including Scolton Manor and the Haverford West Town Museum.

Additionally, there are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants that offer the finest local cuisine.

Families will not be short of activities either. From paddleboarding and sea kayaking to go-karting and adventure playgrounds, there’s something for everyone.

For those who want to take in the stunning scenery, the Pembrokeshire Coast path is a must-visit.

This 186-mile trail takes you through coves, harbours, over 50 beaches, and vibrant towns and villages full of life, culture and creativity.
