Visit this secluded estuary valley in Pembrokeshire to find a village that has the peaceful feel of the past.  A 15 minute drive from the beaches of south Pembrokeshire with their sheltered sandy expanses, and the interesting harbor town of Tenby with shops, museums and beaches.  

Three miles from Carew Castle, privately owned and open to the public for very economical rates, the Mill and the Castle make a great day out. For a few weeks in summer Carew Castle hosts a medieval village, providing great activities for children and adults for the cost of a few groats.

In the nearby hamlet of Cresswell Key the Cresselly Arms seems to stretch right across the road to reach the tidal Cresswell River, which oscillates between mud flats and still waters.  The Cresselly Arms has summer BBQ’s by the waters edge and on one lucky date you will find the Tenby Male Voice Choir singing with the pub to their backs and the river in front.  

This old school was converted to an independent youth hostel around the year 2000 by the local community trust, with the aid of a grant from the Millennium Fund. Lawrenny Millenium Hostel was affiliated to the YHA for a few years but left in 2005. It remains an Independent Hostel, now let only to groups.
