Ever since rambling became a recognised pastime, country pubs have
been magnets for walkers. Whether a lunchtime stop along the way or a
final destination for the day, the promise of a thirst-quenching pint,
bar snack or a hearty meal is for many, an integral part of the day.
Many of Pembrokeshire’s coastal inns have origins in serving
seafarers, while those inland lay beside routes to and from the coast or
beside old droves along which livestock were herded to market.
Today, all have a fine tradition of serving visitors who come for no
other purpose than to enjoy the magnificent countryside. Those chosen
here have long established reputations for their food or ale and have an
individual quirkiness worth seeking out.
