The property is situated within a very scenic part of southern Pembrokeshire within the boundaries of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and within a couple of miles of three lovely sandy beaches – at Freshwater East, Swanlake Bay and Manorbier Bay – with cliffs between the bays and the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path linking these and many other idyllic beaches as it travels from Amroth in the south up to St. Dogmells near Cardigan in the north, covering a distance of about 186 miles and offering fantastic cliff top views along the way. The region offers opportunities for a number of activities including walking, cycling, riding, bird-watching, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, fishing and golf, as well as sight-seeing, with numerous visitor attractions within easy travelling distance.

Manorbier is picturesque and steeped in history, being set along a deep narrow valley with the remarkably well preserved Manorbier Castle on one side of the valley and the ancient St. James's Church on the other side, both looking out to sea across the sandy cove – creating a beautiful scene with echoes of a bygone feudal community. Although the majestic Norman castle dates back to the 12th century, it remained relatively untouched by battle and became more a fortified baronial manor than a fortress. Gerald of Wales was born at the castle c.1145, the son of the Norman lord, William de Barri. Gerald was a man of many talents whose C.V. included being a scholar, churchman and reformer, traveller and naturalist, and he became a famous author – his books give an insight into the life and landscapes of medieval Wales and show his fondest for Manorbier, which he called “the pleasantest place in Wales”. The castle is now privately owned but open to the public in season. There is also a Neolithic burial chamber in the vicinity, not far from the church, called King's Quoit. Manorbier has a village shop/post office and pub, less than 3 miles east of the property. North of the village is a restaurant along the A1439 road, about 2 miles from the property, and Manorbier's primary school is also north of the village, some 2½ miles from the property near Manorbier Railway Station, a small halt on the West Wales line (west to Pembroke and Pembroke Dock, and east to Tenby, Saundersfoot and beyond to Carmarthen/Swansea).

Manorbier's sandy beach is popular with families and surfers, and offers ample car parking. Edged by cliffs, the lovely little Skrinkle Bay is just along the coast to the east, whilst secluded Swanlake Bay lies to the west. Freshwater East is south-west of the property, also popular with family holidaymakers and surfing enthusiasts, with a larger sandy beach backed by dunes and grassland, and a freshwater stream that joins the sea here. There is a cafe and toilets and a good car park near the beach, and there is a pub in the village. Lamphey Bishop's Palace is 2½ miles north-west of the property, the remains of a large country retreat once used by the bishops of St. David's, with ruinous buildings dating from the 13th to the 16th centuries. Lamphey village has a pub and a bakery.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park came into being in 1952 and includes the majority of Pembrokeshire's spectacular coastline, as well as the Daugleddau Estuary and the Preseli Hills. It covers approximately 240 square miles, taking in dramatic scenery, beautiful sandy beaches, coves, estuaries, picturesque towns and villages, and delightful countryside. The Park includes Nature Reserves, Conservation and Protection areas, and many sites of special scientific interest. Pre-Cambrian rocks (about 600 million years old) have been found along the coastline. Several offshore islands are also included in the Park, renowned for their varieties of birds, grey seals and flora. Visits can be made by boat to some of the islands, including the monastic Caldey Island.

Pembroke is 4½ miles from the property north-westerly, an ancient and attractive town dating back to medieval times, offering a range of individual and specialist shops, a supermarket, main post office, banks, pubs, restaurants and eateries, a nightclub, plenty of parking, and primary and comprehensive schools. Pembroke Castle dominates the town, an imposing, almost complete, 13th century Norman castle with its Great Keep and caverns below. The town was walled in medieval times, and sections can still be seen today. Pembroke was designated an Outstanding Conservation Area in 1977. Although it is the county town, the main administrative centre for Pembrokeshire is at Haverfordwest. Some three miles north is Pembroke Dock (about 7 miles from the property), a separate, industrial town established in the 19th century, which has a doctor's surgery, dentists, Tesco and Asda stores etc. Ferry services to Rosslare in Ireland can be accessed at Pembroke Dock.

Tenby is about 6½ miles east of the property, once a fishing port, now a delightful and popular tourist resort with 13th century town walls, quaint narrow cobbled streets, museum & art gallery, Victorian architecture, as well as the 15th century St. Mary's Church, the Tudor Merchant's House, and a ruinous medieval castle atop a rocky headland. There are extensive sandy beaches and coves ideal for bathing and watersports, and an ancient harbour with boat trips out to the thriving monastery on peaceful Caldey Island. The Coastal Path at Tenby provides excellent walks offering glorious views. All the usual town amenities are here, including primary, junior and secondary schools, a good selection of shops, post office, banks, multi-storey car park, a variety of restaurants, pubs, hotels and night clubs, a leisure centre with swimming pool and sports facilities, cinema, cottage hospital, railway station (West Wales line), and an 18-hole golf course with superb sea views.

Saundersfoot is north of Tenby, about 9 miles north-east of the property, a delightful old fishing village and seaside resort with shops, pubs, and restaurants, golden sands, a pretty harbour, and a railway station on the outskirts – another popular holiday destination, ideal for swimming and sailing.

Barafundle Bay is about 6½ miles south-west of the property (past Stackpole Quay), owned by the National Trust and considered by some to be the loveliest beach in Pembrokeshire – an isolated unspoilt cove with clear blue sea, golden sands backed by dunes, and edged by beautiful woodland.

Bosherston Lakes and Lily Ponds on the Castlemartin peninsula are about 8 miles south-westerly. The lakes and pools were artificially created in the 18th and 19th centuries on the Stackpole Estate by damming three limestone valleys, creating a wonderful watery haven for plants and wildlife in a woodland and sand dune setting providing a variety of habitats. Beautiful water lilies and a wide variety of birds can be seen, and otters also inhabit the area. There are lovely walks here, with access down to the sea at Broadhaven South, a large sandy beach loved by surfers.

Carew Castle & Tidal Mill is only 4 miles northerly, a magnificent edifice with a 2000 year history, overlooking a tidal millpond that powers a restored corn mill – a beautiful setting on the peaceful Daugleddau Estuary, which several rivers and streams enter en route to the great Milford Haven waterway. Oysters are harvested in this area, and West Williamston nature reserve is nearby. The Estuary is a charming, less well known part of the National Park with lovely places to visit.

Heatherton Country Sports Activity Park is 5 miles north-east of the property, set in beautiful countryside with various activities including horse riding, paintballing, karting, archery and golf. Manor House Wild Animal Park is nearby with a collection of mammals, birds and reptiles, falconry displays and play areas, and the Great Wedlock Dinosaur Park is about half a mile further on with woodland dinosaur trails, adventure playgrounds, etc. Oakwood Leisure Park, one of the UK's top theme parks, is about 10½ miles northwards with the CC2000 Crystal Maze and Bowling Alley nearby.

Narberth is 13 miles north-easterly, known as the Gateway to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a charming town with a busy shopping centre, galleries, arts and crafts workshops, antique shops, museum, pubs, restaurants, and sports centre, as well as the ruins of a 13th century Norman castle. The town is renowned for its food and literature festivals and good entertainment at the Queen's Hall.

Milford Haven is 13 miles north-westerly on the famous natural waterway, the largest town in Pembrokeshire and a working port dating back to the late 18th century when the town and harbour were developed for the navy. The main industry is oil refining, and tourism is important with easy travel to lovely seaside resorts such as Broad Haven and Little Haven. The town has a redeveloped marina, museum, theatre/cinema, good shopping, leisure & sports centre, 10-pin bowling centre, plenty of pubs and eateries, sailing club and beach, out-of-town retail park, and visitor attractions.

Haverfordwest is about 15 miles north-westerly, on the Western Cleddau river, a delightful old market town with good shopping facilities, supermarkets, an outlying retail park, restaurants, cafes, pubs, cinema, sports centre, swimming pool, general hospital, museum, schools and college, railway and bus station, and the remains of a 12th century Norman castle. Pembrokeshire County Council is based here.

Carmarthen is about 30 miles north-easterly on the Towy river, a busy town with good shopping amenities, a university college, general hospital, and main line station with links to Swansea/Cardiff/London. The A48 road can be joined here, which links to the M4 Motorway.
