Location

Rickeston Hall is located only about four miles from the picturesque fishing village of Solva. Solva is a beautiful traditional fishing village with a beach, good pubs, cafés, restaurants, art galleries and shops.

The historical 'city' of St David's City is only about seven miles and has numerous pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and an independent supermarket.
It also features a medieval Bishop's Palace and Cathedral which were built in a natural hollow so that they were not visible by raiders from the sea.

Haverfordwest which is the County Town of Pembrokeshire is about 15 miles and has supermarkets, pubs, cafés and restaurants. Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road is about 43 miles to the east providing quick access to south Wales (Swansea about 70 miles, Cardiff about 113 miles) the Severn Bridge and beyond.

The beaches in Pembrokeshire are probably some of the most spectacular in the country.

Apart from Solva beach, Whitesands beach near St David's is a sandy beach suitable for surfing and swimming. Newgale beach with its rugged, sweeping vista is also very impressive, again offering excellent surfing. Travelling further afield to the north you will find Abereiddy beach which is a popular spot for coasteering an excellent outdoor pursuit for children and adults alike. The local area also provides one of the best areas for scuba diving.

If you just want a short walk around the coast next to Solva then the Gribin Coastal Walk is ideal or a longer walk starting from Porthclais harbour is fun. Just as interesting is a walk in the Preseli Hills and Mountains to see first hand where the Stonehenge "blue stones" originated.

There is an incredible amount of wildlife to observe whilst walking the coast or you can take a boat trip to visit Skomar or Ramsey islands where you will see puffins, seals and dolphins. Equally there are excellent bird watching opportunities throughout Pembrokeshire.

For golfers there are two very good golf courses at St Davids and Haverfordwest.
