The prettiest village in Wales that’s one of the UK’s best seaside towns

Must read

A small village in Wales is beginning to make a name for itself as an ideal place for a quiet holiday.

Solva is located in the southwest corner of Wales and right by Pembrokeshire National Park.

Among other things, the village is also famed for its great food, with fresh seafood being served in nearby restaurants.

Mamgu Welsh Cakes, confectioners based in Wales, recently waxed lyrical about Solva in a blog post.

They said: “Solva is without doubt Pembrokeshire’s most shining gem, arguably Wales’ too!

“Nestled between two high cliff sides in a valley, the idyllic harbour village boasts one of the most breathtaking coastal views in the country.

“You can find local fishermen and women bring in its famous Solva crab and lobster, which can be purchased in the village and served fresh in the restaurants.”

Other attractions in the village are art galleries, music festivals, and of course, the relaxing beach.

Travel bloggers Emily and Krystina, who run a travel blog called My UK Staycation on Instagram, also enjoyed the village.

They said: “Pretty little Solva. The Welsh harbour village which stole my heart.

“With neighbouring St David’s and Tenby stealing most of the limelight of Pembrokeshire this is like a hidden little gem, but with a big history.

“Don’t miss it on your next trip to Pembrokeshire. It’s worth going out your way for and if you catch the sun like we did then it is the most gorgeous beach day.”

The colourful cottages and beautiful hills make Solva a uniquely serene location to spend a few days by the sea.

The coastline also offers great walking routes. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path takes visitors passed the stunning cliffs.
