Welcome to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, where new adventures are waiting. The park spans 240 spectacular square miles and is world-famous for its dazzling beaches, weather-worn cliffs, and secret coves jewelled with rock pools. The park is also home to several islands with unique wildlife habitats, offering endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you are a walker, surfer, kayaker, or sailor, the crinkled coast of Pembrokeshire provides the perfect setting for your favourite activities.
National Geographic Traveller magazine in the US recently rated the Pembrokeshire Coast as one of the top two coastal destinations in the world, and it's easy to see why. The park's stunning combination of land, sea, and sky makes it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the park's many hiking trails, enjoy water sports, or take a boat tour to get a closer look at the marine life. With so much to see and do, it's no wonder visitors keep returning to Pembrokeshire year after year.

Dale Fort Centre is set in a spectacular location high on the cliffs within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, giving superb views over the sea. Built in 1856 to defend the Milford Haven waterway against invasion, it has been a field centre since 1948. For many visitors staying in a 150 year old historic Fortress is exciting.
It comes with a fully fitted kitchen with gas industrial cookers, dishwasher, fridge, freezers, microwave, crockery and utensils. The centre has rooms of various sizes with single bunk-beds and ensuite (toilet/shower in the room) or regular (sink in the room) facilities.
The centre is exclusively hired by MFA and the facilities will only be used by us.
