THE Pembrokeshire Coast has been named the best national park in the United Kingdom for spotting marine wildlife.

In addition to providing breathtaking coastal scenery, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was named the best national park for spotting animals out at sea, according to family footwear brand Charles Clinkard.

Just this year, a superpod of dolphins was spotted at sea off Strumble in February, and a month earlier a humpback whale made a rare appearance off the coast at Fishguard.

“You may not associate the UK with marine wildlife, but there are some spots of the country where you’re likely to get a glimpse of a sea animal or two,” a spokesperson for Charles Clinkard said.
