Red Rum Retreat

For a truly unique glamping experience come and stay in a converted horse transporter at The Old Point House, a remote location with the benefit of a pub right next door.

Skomer Island is a occupied by many thousands of birds busy raising their young. The island is home to puffins, guillemots, razorbills, storm petrels and one of the world's largest Manx shearwater breeding colonies, with an estimated 120,000 breeding pairs.

10 miles away is Stack Rocks; a great place to watch breeding seabirds along the stunning limestone coast of south Pembrokeshire. Guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes use these pillars of rock close to the shore as a safe place to nest. Puffins and choughs can also be seen here.

Activities include coasteering, kayaking or climbing. Milder pursuits like foraging in our rockpools and hedgerows. You can enjoy the scenery with the wind in your hair, cycle in quiet country lanes or walk along the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coastal Path

The charming village of Angle lies in a sheltered valley located between East Angle bay on the Milford Haven Waterway and the sandy West Angle bay at the entrance to the Waterway.

Angle was designated as a conservation area by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1995.

Angle is on the route of the Coastal Cruiser, coastal bus service number 387 and links the Castlemartin peninsula villages to Pembroke, which also has a railway station.

The two major occupations in Angle have been agriculture and fishing. Angle has a long and proud seafaring tradition and its lifeboat station is evidence of this. Other occupations such as milling by wind power have taken place since at least 1298. A windmill, recorded in the late Tudor period, was re-built in the 18th century and modified for use during the second world war as a pill box!

Many medieval buildings survive in the village and it has a fine medieval fortified residence in the Tower House. The remains of the Angle Brick Works, established in the 1880’s, can be seen in the form of the brickworks chimney in West Angle.
