The Pembrokeshire coast path is just half a mile from the cottage.The Strumble Head Shuttle bus also passes the house and gives the opportunity to access the path at different points.If you fancy a circular walk from the house there are many well maintained footpaths and bridleways in this ancient landscape.
Nearby Abermawr beach offers the chance to swim and surf, while Goodwick and Fishguard Lower Town are favourite spots for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. There is so much to see and do in North Pembrokeshire and here is just a taste.

In the neighbouring ‘twin town’ of Fishguard, famous for the Last Invasion in 1797 you can see the Last Invasion Tapestry which tells the story of local heroine Jemima Nicholas and visit the Royal Oak Inn where the peace treaty was signed. Walk down to Lower Town, a delightful harbour, with its fishing boats and yachts. Maybe take a guided boat trip around Strumble Head.
Further afield you could visit the Blue Lagoon and its turquoise waters and further on to St David’s to see the cathedral and ruins of the Bishops Palace. Make Post Office Cottage your home away from home for your visit to Pembrokeshire.
