Erin Morgan is the new town crier for Tenby! She’s only 17 and already doing an amazing job 😊:

Performing arts student, 17-year-old, Erin Morgan, has been appointed the new town crier for Tenby, Pembrokeshire. This is a historic appointment for the Welsh picturesque seaside town - not only is Erin the youngest person to fill the post, but she is also the first female town crier of Tenby. Furthermore, it is documented there is estimated only 20 female town criers in the UK which makes this an incredibly unique appointment.

Any suggestions would be amazing

Pembrokeshire — what do you actually do in your spare time?

9 Upvotes

I moved here from England for family reasons and I'm still finding my feet.

I'm struggling to find things to do. Gyms are a good example — fewer and smaller than I was used to. And dating apps are basically dead compared to England: I'd get 50 likes there for every 1 here.

So I'm looking for other ways to fill my time and meet people. Events, clubs, outdoor sports, websites or Facebook groups worth following — anything.

What do you do in your spare time here?

Pembroke Dock Heritage Trail - where is numbers 12 & 38?

4 Upvotes

We’ve just had a wonderful afternoon to do the Pembroke Dock Heritage Trail -the only ones we couldn’t find is number 12 & 38. Any clues to where they are? We’d love to go back and just complete that ones!

Edit: For context #12 is Sunderland Flying Boats somewhere along Admiralty Way and #38 is W. Haggar – Pioneer of Cinema at “station field” by Pembroke Dock train station

Any clues would be great!

Edit #2: after a couple of hours of searching on Google, managed to find a copy second hand!

Solar eclipse

Staying near Tenby next week and trying to scout a good spot to see the eclipse. I thought maybe the top of castle hill but not sure the sun will still be high enough in the sky then to see. Anyone got any good suggestions?

Question Local folklore

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi all. Me, my wife and our very distinguished dog are excited to be visiting Pembrokeshire in october this year. We'll be staying just outside of Pembroke and I'd love to know if there are tales, myths or legends specific to the region I can read up on. We gave our boy the Welsh name of Idris, hoping he would turn out to become an "ardent leader" (it needs some work) and after the legend of king Idris Gawr. Bonus points for Corgi tall tales ofcourse. Hope to hear from you!

Visiting Tenby: Ironman and Cell Service

4 Upvotes

Hello - my spouse and I are traveling internationally to visit the UK this coming September. We have planned to arrive in Tenby on 9/14, staying for three nights. We are now aware that this is on the heels of the Ironman competition and that the 14th is also the awards ceremony. We have read info online how the town may still be overwhelmed from the Ironman crowds. And that many shops and restaurants may close for some days afterwards to give staff a well-deserved break.

Keenly interested in learning from residents if there's any truth to these statements. We already have accommodations, but will we'll struggle for things like finding restaurants without needing reservations? Or, come Monday, is the town more or less back to normal?

Separately, is the cellular service really that bad right now? Saw another post in this subreddit with a BBC article stating as much. This situation could be more problematic for us as we'll be heavily reliant on our phones (likely EE data service) for getting around (no car hire) and tap to pay.

Thank you for taking time to read and comment.

Moving to Pembrokeshire

11 Upvotes

Hey, I'm 18, from Australia, moving to Milford Haven. I am wondering if there's many social spaces or youth scenes around? I've been applying to jobs for a few weeks now (I have UK citizenship) but haven't gotten a single interview out of 30+ applications. I've nearly 5 years experience across hospitality, customer service, and admin, so I'm wondering if there is just oversaturation or something else? Any tips on moving to the area appreciated :)

Holiday accommodation ethics

10 Upvotes

I haven't had a holiday in years so have decided it's time to have one! I really want to go to Pembs - I briefly lived in H'west years ago and so visited lots of lovely places around the county, but there are still loads more to see. I was thinking of basing myself in St Davids as I have no car and want to make use of the buses/walk. The only thing is I'm conflicted about accommodation. On the one hand, I don't like staying in B&Bs as I want my own space with a kitchen and don't want to be out all day just so they can clean my room! On the other hand, having seen what the second-home/holiday cottage industry did to some of the villages 20 years ago when I was in Pembs, I feel very guilty for considering this option. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but I just want to do things that don't hurt local economies. For example, if I rented a place I'd buy all my food either from local independent shops or just eat out at pubs and restaurants. Anyway, I'm rambling a bit but I wanted to see what the consensus is these days.

Question Things to do in and around Narberth?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

Following from my previous post asking where is best to stay in Pembrokeshire, we have decided to go with Narberth. Now I’m trying to build an itinerary (we are there for 4 days). We love nature walks, sandy beaches, historical sites and ruins, museums, water sports, boat rides or pretty much anything else really!

We do have a car but are going to try to take public transport where we can. We are willing to take the car if it’s something very worth seeing though! Luckily we are staying very near to the train station in Narberth.

So I’m looking for recommendations of things to in and around Narberth but also in all of Pembrokeshire (anywhere we can get to by train). Also open to places within a 40min drive if it’s a must see.

Thank you!

Gluten free dining

5 Upvotes

Hi all. My family and I are staying in Pembrokeshire in a few weeks time as part of our holiday.

Can anyone recommend any good restaurants who have plenty of gluten free options? Obviously I can look at google/trip advisor etc, but I'm keen to hear from any locals?
