Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Pembrokeshire

Fascinating reconstruction of an Iron Age fort. In each of the round, thatched houses, the interiors are reconstructed, based on the speculations of archaeologists. Very little information remains about the life of Iron Age man. In the houses, guides bake bread or spin wool, passionately recounting what we think we know about the period. Many discoveries about Iron Age techniques and knowledge were made during the construction of the site. Breathtaking!

Saundersfoot's beaches are among the most extraordinary in South Pembrokeshire, renowned for their exceptional beauty. To discover them, you can reach the village of Amroth from Tenby, by bus no. 350, then follow the coastal path to the beaches of Saundersfoot. To the west of the village, there is also Glen Beach, an ideal beach for family swimming, with restaurants nearby. Often events are organized throughout the year, the program is available on site.

This tapestry, created in 1997, traces the events that took place during the last "attempt" of French invasion of British territory in 1797. The tapestry illustrates the arrival of the French army consisting of three ships of 1,400 soldiers recruited from French prisons. It is by landing on February 22, 1797 on the beach of Carreg Wastad, that the French thought they would conquer Great Britain! They were blown off the island in three days!

Archaeological sites and Celtic shrines along the way recall the passage of Irish settlers along the coast. There are remains of the chapel of St. Patrick, who went to preach the divine word on the Green Island; the Warrior's Dyke, a defensive rampart dating from the Iron Age (750 BC to 100 AD); the Coetan Arthur, a Neolithic burial chamber and two other cromlechs at the top of Carn Llidi, at an altitude of 181 metres. From the volcanic promontory of St. David's Head, there are superb views of Ramsey Island.

The date of the same time as the abbey (th century) and would probably have been the property of the monks. The aeronautical engineer Michael Hall bought the ruins a few years ago to put it in operation! This is done today. The wheel rotates again in the small river and you sell flour and breads made from it.

We show you everything about the Y Felin machinery, one of Wales'last water mills, during a pleasant guided tour.

On the banks of the River Teifi, the stone called "Blessing Stone"is known to have been used in pre-Christian times and may have been extracted from a cromlech. Legend has it that the spirit of the river appeared here in the form of a fish. When the monks settled in the village, they recycled the aura of this stone, blessing the fishermen before they set out to sea.

Today, we see nothing but flat stone, sheltered by shrubs forming a plant niche around it. Very nice view.
