When you think of Pembrokeshire, you immediately think of Tenby and Saundersfoot. But stop - and allow me to introduce some other towns and villages within a 20 mile radius of Tenby that you may not have heard of before.
Penally lies a couple of miles from Tenby and has spectacular views over Tenby’s golf course and South Beach, facing towards Caldey Island. The Parish church is well worth a visit and it is rumoured that St Teilo, a contemporary of St David was born here.
Kilgetty and Begelly are intertwined villages about 5 miles from Tenby. St Mary’s church in Begelly has the highest tower in the county. Folly farm is a hop skip and a jump away from Begelly and proves to be one of Pembrokeshires premier attractions having won numerous awards. There is a history of coal mining in the area.
Stepaside is very close to Kilgetty and has in Pleasant Valley the ruins of the iron works in a good state of preservation which can be walked around.
Manorbier has a fabulous castle open to the public and is privately owned. This has great views of the beach and surfing is prevalent here.
Narberth is situated about 8 miles from Tenby and is a fantastic example of a small market village. With a large number of exclusive shops available, the shopping is not to be missed. Narberth also has the ruins of a castle on its doorstep.
Haverfordwest is the county town of Pembrokeshire and is around 20 miles from Tenby. Again it possesses good shopping and the ruins of a castle in the middle of the town.
Freshwater East about 8 Miles from Tenby has a spectacular beach and being on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, has many good walks.
Lamphey nearby to Freshwater East has the ruins of the Bishops Palace, a retreat for the clergy from St Davids with  fishponds, fruit orchards and vegetable gardens to sweeping parklands for them to enjoy.
Castlemartin is home to the MOD and especially tank training grounds. There are viewing spots around for you to watch the tanks performing battle situations.
Whilst the above are only a few of the towns and villages around, there are many many more for you to visit, such as St Florence, Marltwy, Landshipping, Lawrenny, Llawahaden, Templeton, Carew, Little Haven, Broadhaven and loads more. They all have their own salient features and as Pembrokeshire is full of history spanning stone age dolmens and henges to World War 2 history and beyond coupled with some of the best beaches in Britain and spectacular scenery that is a must for any holidaymaker.
