Nooks and Corners of Pembrokeshire

A leisurely wander through Pembrokeshire’s lesser‑known pathways awaits, guided by the author’s keen eye for the county’s hidden treasures. From the soaring arches of St Davids Cathedral to the weather‑worn ruins of medieval castles such as Pembroke, Manorbier and Carew, each stop is rendered in vivid sketches that capture both the grandeur and the quiet charm of these ancient stones. The narrative also weaves in the region’s rich tapestry of place‑names, ancient crosses, and stone circles, inviting listeners to glimpse the lives of the people who once called these windswept hills and secluded dales home.

Interspersed with lively anecdotes about the “Little England beyond Wales” and the distinctly Welsh heartland, the guide offers a balanced portrait of Pembrokeshire’s dual heritage. Alongside the historical notes, the author shares personal reflections on the joy of sketching and the subtle pleasures of exploring quiet towns like Tenby and Haverfordwest. Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation for the county’s unique character and a desire to follow its winding footpaths themselves.
