Local Area Information

Amroth is a small village close to Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales and has year round dog friendly beaches. 

The beach stretches the whole length of the village and at extreme low tide, the petrified forest, destroyed when sea levels rose 7,000 years ago, can still be seen. Fossilised antlers nuts and animal bones and Neolithic flints have been discovered. The parish, which appeared as Amrath on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire, was an important anthracite coal mining area until the end of the 19th century. Slight remains of mines and tramways are still visible. Ruins of Amroth Castle still remain, and one mile inland is the Anglican parish church of St Elidyr, which is a grade II listed building.

The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path runs west along the coast from its start at Amroth. This national trail has since 2012 also formed a part of the Wales Coastal Path which continues eastwards from Amroth over the headland of Telpyn Point towards Pendine. Amroth is also the southern terminus of the Knights' Way, which runs north to St David's Cathedral. A section of the Cistercian way also passes through.

There are bus routes on the sea front which can take you into Saundersfoot and Tenby. The nearest train station is Kilgetty which is approx 10 mins by car.
