One of the attractions of a holiday in Pembrokeshire is that no area is the same as any other. Located to the west of Milford Haven, the Dale Peninsular is quite different from anywhere else. Accessed via long, narrow roads over rolling hills, the area includes the small villages of Dale, Marloes and St Brides.

The B4327 passes a couple of parking places where the inlet and the rolling farmland can be enjoyed.

Dale

In the summer, the village of Dale appears mostly to consist of sailing boats. It has a shop and places to eat and drink. A pleasant embankment overlooking the bay is a good place for a picnic. There is ample parking behind the coast road.

Several seats enable visitors to admire the view in comfort

There is a small amount of disabled parking right on the seafront

Marloes

This is an unusual looking village, which features a Post Office, a restaurant (we haven't tried it yet), public toilets and an interesting clock tower.

The tower has four clocks. When we took this, they all said the same (wrong) time

We haven't yet tried the Bistro in the Clock House B&B

HOW TO GET THERE

Use the B4327 from Haverfordwest or follow the Dale signs from Milford Haven.
