People are being urged to come together in the Pembrokeshire coast’s legendary landscape between July 24 and 30 to mark National Parks Week 2017.

National Parks Week is the annual celebration of everything that is unique and wonderful about the UK’s 15 National Parks - Britain’s breathing spaces.

Chair of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, Gwyneth Hayward, said: “Events are being held across the National Park to mark this celebratory week with many activities themed around the Year of Legends, offering a fascinating insight into the area’s rich culture and heritage.

“Although the Pembrokeshire Coast is one of the smallest National Parks in the UK, it boasts one of the most diverse landscapes, with sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, quiet wooded estuaries and sweeping hills offering plenty of different ways to enjoy a new adventure.

“With hundreds of miles of walking trails including the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and easy access routes available, there is no better time to get outside and experience what the National Park has to offer.”

At Castell Henllys Iron Age Village, Go Wild in the Woods on July 28 will help you engage with nature in a completely different way. Possible activities range from bushcraft and pond dipping to site safaris and den building. For more information visit www.castellhenllys.com.

Meanwhile at Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, Crafty Castle Creations from July 24-28 will include a chance to paint a shield, create a brass rubbing, make a dragon, a clay tile or even try calligraphy, with activities changing daily. For more information visit www.carewcastle.com.

At Oriel y Parc Gallery and Visitor Centre in St. Davids, there will be a chance to come together and hear Tales of the Mabinogion with storyteller Milly Jackdaw on July 29, taking inspiration from the legendary Twrch Trwyth sculpture on site. For more information visit www.orielyparc.co.uk.
