There’s a destination that has a little something for everyone, and most tourists don’t even know it exists.
The UK has some great getaway spots. Blackpool Sands in Devon is one of the most beautiful beaches that’s reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast. Or if you’re looking for something known for its history, Glasgow in Scotland is the place for you.
One UK town, however, has both beautiful beaches and historic structures. Pembrokeshire in Wales is a charming seaside village that’s surprisingly uncrowded, according to Country Living.
The county’s capital is Haverfordwest. The town is home to Haverfordwest Castle, which was constructed in the 12th century. It’s been impressively preserved, where you can walk throughout the ruins and see the collection of artefacts.

The town is also home to over 25 species of owls. One of the most popular tourist attractions is the Secret Owl Garden, where visitors can learn to handle the animals.
If you’re looking for a beach day, Broad Haven Beach, known as one of the best beaches in Wales, has gold sand and crystal clean water, according to Transport For Wales.
The waters around Pembrokeshire have been known to have puffins, dolphins, seals and even whales. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path gives walkers a scenic view of the natural beauty.
Don’t miss…
There’s a smaller town nearby which also has an interesting array of activities. St. Davids is actually Britain’s smallest city, with fewer than 2,000 people that live there.
The village is home to the 12th-century St. Davids Cathedral, as well as other ancient buildings and ruins.
It’s also a popular spot for walking, or hop on a boat and take a tour of its islands that are only 15 minutes from each other.
