Newport itself is an ancient borough in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park, set between the Preseli Hills and the sea. There are a variety of useful shops as well as galleries and restaurants. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The house is modern, warm and comfortable, with wonderful sea, estuary and mountain views, from both the house and the large garden. As a result there is little danger from traffic for young children, though you must watch the water, especially the fast ebb and flow periods.
Life revolves around the tides, and tide tables are kept in the house.
At low tide you can wade across the river to the dunes and large and beautiful beach which is never crowded. By car the whole of the Pembrokeshire peninsula is within easy reach. Visit Pentre Ifan, the largest group of standing stones in Wales, to be found on the hills overlooking Newport. In the house you will find an information binder and also brochures and leaflets. Offshore islands, the largest of which are Skomer, Skokholm, Ramsey, Grasholm and Caldey, are internationally known for their seabird and seal populations.
