Manorbier
A narrow road wends its way through the delightful village of Manorbier. Manorbier was called the 'pleasantest spot in Wales' back in the 12th Century by Gerald of Wales. It is still very pleasant today.
Manorbier castle and Manorbier church are positioned either side of the valley leading down to the beach. They give the beach a most attractive back drop. In the bottom of the valley, but set well back from the beach, are the beach carpark and toilets. From the car park a gentle path leads to the beach.
The upper part of the beach has sand and flat pebbles, dunes at the rear and colourful cliffs to both sides. When the tide is out a beautiful sandy beach is uncovered and also an area of reef which is perfect for rockpooling. Conditions are often good for swimming, but when the surf is up, Manorbier becomes a Mecca for surfers.
There are beautiful walks around the headlands. The bay is overlooked by a Neolithic burial chamber, situated adjacent to the cliff footpath on the east side of the bay. Towards the top end of the village is a restored Bier House.
Tea rooms can be found in the Castle and in Manorbier village which also has a shop/post office and a pub - the Castle Inn - serving meals and traditional ales.
Outside the village are Manorbier Garden Centre, Greenacres Water Garden Centre and Springfields Market Garden which produces delicious asparagus and fruit. They also grow over 100 varieties of daffodils for flowers and bulbs.
