Solva, the Village and Harbour

003

Solva Harbour is a delight, situated close to St David’s in the northern corner of St Brides Bay, it is the only really sheltered haven between the ferry port of Goodick & Fishguard in the North of Pembrokeshire and south to the safety of Milford Haven. Both Solva and Milford Haven are examples of drowned valleys or Ria flooded after the Ice Age.

At high tide the waters fill the estuary right up to the car park then low tide provides walks down past a range of disused lime kilns, with assortments of boats sitting on the sand or mud awaiting the next tide, then right to the entrance and the sea. If you are adventurous you can get round the headland to a small beach called Gwadn. Not to worry about the tide cutting you off, there is escape via the circular route over The Gribin. Whilst we have walked right down the harbour, we have yet to get round the corner nor have we walked The Gribin. Both on our to do list.

At the moment, June 2020, not much is happening anywhere, but usually there is always something going on.
