Newport Pembrokeshire is a gem - boasting not just scenic beauty with its mountains, estuary, and twin beaches, but also a thriving high street.

Deep in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, under the shadow of a Norman castle and within spitting distance of the best beaches in Wales, there’s a music festival with grand plans. Westival – an underground music and arts festival in Manorbier – will attract 2,000 festival goers this summer expecting ambient chillout zones, daytime activities, boat parties around the idyllic coastline and even surfing and paddle board lessons.
