Saundersfoot was once a group of medieval cottages in a forest clearing in Coedrath, belonging to and hunted by the Norman Earls of Pembroke. Five hundred years later it had become a thriving coal port exporting 30,000 tons of anthracite a year from its harbour. When the coal industry vanished 150 years later Saundersfoot gradually evolved into the seaside resort we know today with its busy harbour of fishing and pleasure boats. |

Saundersfoot |
The
only truly coastal national park in Britain. A spectacular and changing
landscape of mighty cliffs, endless sandy beaches and secret coves, wooded
estuaries and wild inland hills, and a sanctuary for wildlife. People
have shaped the landscape over the centuries, remembered in tombs and
castles, crosses and cottages, quarries and quays.
