Pembrokeshire on a Plate: The Local Cheeses You Need to Try 🧀🐄

Pembrokeshire is known for many wonderful things: beaches, coast paths, castles, seafood, potatoes, and views so good they make you briefly question why anyone lives anywhere else. But tucked between the hills, farms and coastal lanes is another local treasure that deserves a louder cheer: Pembrokeshire cheese.

Yes, cheese. Glorious, crumbly, creamy, smoky, tangy, spread-it-on-bread-and-say-nothing-for-five-minutes cheese. 😋

Cheese making has deep roots in Welsh rural life. Long before fridges, supermarkets and next-day delivery, farming families had to make the most of fresh milk. Turning milk into cheese meant it could be stored, sold, shared and enjoyed throughout the year. In places like Pembrokeshire, where pasture, farming skill and family tradition have always gone hand in hand, cheese was not just food. It was part of everyday life.

Over time, Welsh farmhouse cheese became closely linked with local identity. Caerffili, in particular, became one of Wales’s best-known cheeses. It was loved for its fresh, crumbly texture and clean, slightly tangy taste. In more recent decades, artisan cheesemakers across West Wales have helped revive traditional methods, while creating exciting new cheeses full of local character.

Today, Pembrokeshire may not have hundreds of cheesemakers, but what it does have is proper quality. These are not boring blocks of mystery fridge cheese. These are cheeses with fields, farms, families, cows, goats, Preseli air, coastal influence and plenty of craft behind them. 🐐🌿

Caerfai Farm, near St Davids 🌊🐄

Website: www.caerfaifarm.co.uk

Just outside St Davids, Caerfai Farm produces organic cheese using milk from its own herd. That gives its cheese a real field-to-fork story. Or perhaps field-to-cracker, if we are being honest.

Caerfai Farm is best known for its organic Cheddar and Caerffili-style cheese. The Cheddar is matured for several months and cloth-bound in the traditional way, giving it a rich farmhouse character. Their Caerffili-style cheese is lighter, fresher and crumbly, with that lovely gentle tang that works beautifully with bread, chutney, apple or a proper ploughman’s lunch.

This is a great one to try if you want cheese that tastes local without needing a food dictionary to understand it. It is simple, honest and full of flavour.

Try it with: crusty bread, chutney, sliced apple, pickled onions, or Pembrokeshire new potatoes. 🥔

Pant Mawr Farmhouse Cheeses, Rosebush 🏔️🧀

Website: www.pantmawrcheeses.co.uk

Up in Rosebush, near the Preseli Hills, Pant Mawr Farmhouse Cheeses has been creating handmade Welsh cheeses since 1983. This is proper family-run farmhouse cheese making, using locally produced milk and a lot of know-how.

Their range is a dream for anyone who loves a good cheeseboard. Caws Cerwyn is mellow and easy to enjoy. Mature Cerwyn brings a stronger, tangier flavour. Oak Smoked Cerwyn adds a rich smoky depth that feels made for crackers, chutney and a cosy evening in. Then there is Caws Preseli, a soft mould-ripened cheese with plenty of character, and Drewi-Sant, a mead-washed cheese that brings something a bit different to the table.

Pant Mawr also makes goat’s cheeses, including soft goat’s cheese and Caws y Graig, a harder goat’s cheese with a clean, full flavour.

In short, if your cheeseboard has been looking a bit sad lately, Pant Mawr can sort that out. No judgement. We have all been there. 😄

Try it with: local chutney, oatcakes, fresh grapes, honey, walnuts or a glass of something cold.

Caws Cenarth, Boncath 🏆🧀

Website: www.cawscenarth.co.uk

Caws Cenarth, based near Boncath, is one of the big names in Welsh artisan cheese. The family business began making cheese in 1987 and is recognised as the oldest established producer of Welsh Farmhouse Caerffili PGI.

That PGI mark means Traditional Welsh Caerphilly or Traditional Welsh Caerffili has protected status, recognising its connection to place, method and heritage. It is a proud Welsh food story, and Pembrokeshire has a place in it.

Caws Cenarth is also known for cheeses such as Perl Wen and Perl Las. Perl Wen is soft, creamy and rich, the sort of cheese that makes people hover near the buffet table pretending they are “just having a look”. Perl Las brings a blue cheese style with Welsh character, ideal for anyone who likes stronger, creamier flavours.

These are cheeses that can turn a normal Friday night snack plate into something that looks like you have your life together. Result. 👌

Try it with: warm bread, crackers, pear, fig chutney, walnuts, or a cheeseboard with a mix of hard, soft and blue cheeses.

Why We Should All Be Eating More Local Cheese 🧀❤️

Buying Pembrokeshire cheese is not just about treating yourself, although let’s be honest, that is reason enough. It also supports local farms, rural jobs, family businesses and food producers who are keeping traditional skills alive.

It also helps keep money circulating locally. When you buy from a local farm shop, deli, market or Welsh food producer, you are not just buying cheese. You are backing the people who milk the cows, tend the goats, stir the curds, mature the wheels, wrap the truckles and keep these small businesses going.

And the best bit? It tastes better than the standard supermarket slab. There, someone had to say it. 😄

Build Your Own Pembrokeshire Cheeseboard 🧀🍇

If you want to try a local cheeseboard, here is a simple Pembrokeshire-inspired idea:

Caerfai Cheddar for a rich farmhouse bite

Caerfai Caerffili-style cheese for something crumbly and fresh

Pant Mawr Oak Smoked Cerwyn for a smoky kick

Pant Mawr Caws Preseli for a soft and characterful option

Caws Cenarth Perl Wen or Perl Las for creamy luxury

Add fresh bread, crackers, chutney, apple, grapes and maybe a few Pembrokeshire new potatoes. Suddenly you have a local feast that feels a bit special without needing to overcomplicate it.

Where to Start 🛒

Look out for these cheeses in local farm shops, delis, food fairs and Welsh produce retailers. You can also visit the producers’ own websites for more information:

Final Crumb 🧀

Pembrokeshire has world-class scenery, but it also has food worth shouting about. Local cheese is one of those small joys that connects us to the land, the people and the traditions around us.

So next time you are planning a picnic, filling the fridge, building a cheeseboard or looking for something local to take to friends, give Pembrokeshire cheese a go.

Try one you know. Try one you have never heard of. Try one because the name sounds interesting. That is half the fun.

And if anyone says cheese is not news, they clearly have not met a good Caerffili. 🧀😄

Did we miss a local cheese producer? Give them a shout in the comments with links to their websites please!

I’m sharing this one so we don’t forget to do it ourselves!

Foel Drygarn: The ancient Pembrokeshire hillfort hiding in plain sight

Pembrokeshire is famous for its coastline, but some of its most powerful stories are found inland, high on the wild spine of the Preseli Hills.

One of the finest examples is Foel Drygarn, an ancient hillfort near Crymych, where Bronze Age burial cairns, Iron Age defences, sweeping views and rugged walking routes come together in one unforgettable place.

It is not the tallest summit in Pembrokeshire, nor the most famous, but it is one of the most atmospheric. From a distance, Foel Drygarn appears as a rounded hill rising from the eastern Preselis. Climb a little closer, however, and the landscape begins to reveal itself. Stone banks, old ramparts, hut circles and three great cairns on the summit tell a story stretching back thousands of years.

The name Foel Drygarn means “hill of the three cairns”, and it is easy to see why. Sitting proudly on the summit are three large Bronze Age burial cairns, likely to be around 3,000 to 4,000 years old. Long before the hill became a defended settlement, these cairns would have stood as striking monuments in the landscape, visible for miles around.

Later, during the Iron Age, the hill was transformed into a major hillfort. Its natural rocky outcrops were worked into a defensive settlement, with banks and stone ramparts built around the summit. Today, you can still see the remains of those defences, along with the traces of hundreds of hut platforms where people once lived, worked, cooked, gathered and watched the world pass below.

That is what makes Foel Drygarn so special. It was not just a lookout point or a temporary shelter. The scale of the remains suggests a busy and important settlement, one that held meaning for generations. The older Bronze Age cairns were not simply swept aside when the fort was built. Instead, they appear to have been respected and kept apart from the everyday life of the settlement, a reminder that even ancient communities lived among the memories of those who came before them.

Standing on the summit today, it is not hard to understand why this place mattered. The views stretch across the Preseli Hills, north Pembrokeshire and the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, it feels as though half the county is laid out beneath your feet. It is the kind of place where history does not feel locked away in a museum. It is under your boots, in the stones, in the wind, and in the shape of the land.

For walkers, Foel Drygarn offers a rewarding outing without needing a full day on the hill. A popular short route starts near Blaenbanon, west of the A478, with a walk of roughly two miles to the summit and back. The route is not especially long, but it does climb onto open ground, so sensible footwear is a must.

Those wanting a richer walk can continue towards Carn Menyn, another remarkable Preseli landmark. Carn Menyn is closely associated with the famous Preseli bluestones, the rock type linked to Stonehenge. Combining Foel Drygarn and Carn Menyn gives walkers a route full of archaeology, geology and big open views. It is a proper Pembrokeshire inland adventure, minus the bucket-and-spade crowd.

The wider Preseli area also offers longer walks, including sections of the ancient ridgeway often known as the Golden Road. These routes cross exposed moorland and can be breathtaking in good weather, though they deserve respect. The Preselis can change mood quickly, and mist, wind and wet ground can make navigation harder than expected. This is not a flip-flop job, unless you enjoy poor decisions with a side order of soggy socks.

Anyone visiting Foel Drygarn should remember that this is a protected historic site. The remains are fragile and nationally important. Stones should not be moved, cairns should not be climbed on or disturbed, and dogs should be kept under close control, especially when sheep are grazing or during the bird nesting season.

The reward for treating the place with care is huge. Foel Drygarn gives visitors the chance to experience Pembrokeshire beyond the beaches. It is wild, ancient, open and deeply Welsh. It reminds us that this county is not only shaped by sea cliffs and harbour towns, but by upland communities, old routes, burial places and hilltop strongholds.

For families, walkers, photographers, history lovers or anyone simply looking for fresh air and a new view, Foel Drygarn is well worth seeking out. Take a map, take your time, and take a moment at the top to look around.

People stood there thousands of years before us, looking out across the same hills.

That thought alone makes the climb worthwhile.

The Essential Walk in Tenby. Thanks as always Sir Benfro - News, events & observations about Pembrokeshire & West Wales

The Essential Walk in Tenby

A historic wander through the medieval walls, harbour lanes and Castle Hill - You'll need a map, because as you know, we are really bad at maps ;)

Tenby is one of those towns that looks as if it has been painted rather than built. Pastel houses tumble towards the harbour, narrow lanes twist as if they have somewhere secret to be, and the sea keeps appearing at the end of streets like it is showing off.

But behind the holiday colour and beach-day bustle is a serious old town with a proper medieval spine. Tenby was once a fortified coastal borough, protected by stone walls, watched over by a castle, and shaped by trade, religion, fishing, defence and, later, seaside tourism.

This walk explores the essential historic heart of Tenby, beginning at the Five Arches and taking in the buildings, streets and harbour-side places that tell the story of the town within and just beyond its famous medieval walls. It is not a long walk, but it is rich. Tenby does not do bland. Even its corners have backstory.

Start: The Five Arches

Begin at the Five Arches, the great surviving gateway into Tenby’s medieval walled town. This was part of the town’s western gate and barbican, built to control entry and help defend the borough.

In the Middle Ages, Tenby was not just a pretty place by the sea. It was valuable, vulnerable and worth protecting. The town walls were developed from the 13th century onwards, after Tenby had become an important Norman and medieval settlement. They were strengthened over time, especially in the 15th century when Jasper Tudor ordered major improvements.

The Five Arches are practical, military and strangely handsome. The rounded stone structure, rubble masonry, defensive openings and those unmistakable archways make it one of Tenby’s most powerful historic sights. It is basically the town saying, “You may enter, but behave yourself.”

Stop 1: South Parade and the Town Walls

From the Five Arches, follow the line of the town walls along South Parade. This is where you can really feel the scale of Tenby’s old defences.

The walls once protected a busy trading town packed tightly behind them. The sea brought business, but it also brought danger. The walls, towers and defensive positions were built for a world where security mattered.

Look for the rough local stone, arrow loops, walling, towers and surviving stretches of masonry. These were not decorative features. They were built to watch, guard and resist attack. The walls are not polished or pretty in a soft way. They are handsome because they have survived.

As you walk, imagine the difference between Tenby then and Tenby now. Today, the greatest danger is probably a seagull with ideas above its station and a personal interest in your chips. In medieval Tenby, the risks were rather more pointed.

Stop 2: St George’s Street and the old town grain

Enter the town through the streets around St George’s Street. This area gives you the flavour of Tenby’s old layout: narrow frontages, close plots and lanes that seem to bend around memories.

Some buildings here have older origins hidden beneath later fronts. Others reflect Tenby’s later life as a fashionable seaside resort. This is part of the town’s charm. Tenby is not one frozen moment in history. It is layers: fortified town, merchant borough, fishing harbour, Georgian and Victorian resort, and modern seaside favourite.

Look up as you walk. The upper windows, rooflines, chimneys, painted render and shopfronts often tell a better story than the ground floor. Tenby rewards nosy architecture spotting.

Stop 3: The Old Town Hall and Market Hall

Head towards High Street and the Old Town Hall and Market Hall. The market hall dates from 1829, with the town hall upper floor added around 1860 to 1861. It brought trade, administration and public life together in one very useful building.

Its architecture is more polite than the walls. Here the language is neoclassical: ordered openings, symmetry, a formal frontage and the sense of a town that wanted to look organised and respectable.

Markets were not just places to buy things. They were social engines. News travelled, deals were made and gossip flourished. Basically Facebook, but with baskets, boots and better manners. Mostly.

Stop 4: St Mary’s Church

Now make your way to St Mary’s Church, one of Tenby’s great treasures. It is widely described as the largest medieval parish church in Wales, and it sits right in the heart of the town, as if Tenby grew around it. In many ways, it did.

The church has medieval fabric and later additions, with a broad nave, chancel, aisles, chapels, tower and spire. Outside, notice the scale of the building, the stonework, the strong vertical lines and the way the church dominates the tight townscape without needing to shout.

Inside, the architecture becomes richer. There are chapels, memorials, carved details, old fittings and the strong sense of a church built not only for worship but also for civic pride. In a trading town, a grand church said something very clear: Tenby had money, confidence and connections.

St Mary’s is also linked to Tenby’s Tudor story. Local tradition connects the town with Henry Tudor’s escape to Brittany in 1471, when he and Jasper Tudor fled Wales before Henry later returned to become Henry VII. It gives Tenby a pleasing touch of royal cloak-and-dagger. Very on brand for a walled town.

Stop 5: Tudor Square

From St Mary’s, step into Tudor Square. This is Tenby’s social centre, the place where lanes meet, visitors drift and the town seems to pause for breath.

The square has changed over the centuries, but its position has long made it an important meeting point. Architecturally, it shows Tenby at its most layered: commercial frontages, painted render, sash windows, inns, cafés and narrow plots pressed into use by generation after generation.

It is not grand in the planned Georgian-square sense. It is livelier than that. It has elbows.

This is a good place to think about Tenby as a trading town. Before it was known for beach holidays, it was a working port. Goods, fish, people, news and trouble all came in by sea. The streets around Tudor Square carried that movement uphill and inward.

Stop 6: The Tudor Merchant’s House, Quay Hill

Now head down Quay Hill to the Tudor Merchant’s House, one of the best stops on the walk. This narrow, three-storey house dates from the 15th century and gives a rare glimpse into the domestic and business life of a prosperous Tenby merchant.

Its architecture is wonderfully practical. Built of lime and sandstone rubble, it has the vertical form of a town house where space was precious. The ground floor would have served commercial and working purposes, while the upper floors provided living space.

Medieval town houses were not just homes. They were workplaces, stores, offices and family spaces all stacked together. The Tudor Merchant’s House may look modest by modern standards, but in its day it represented success. It is the kind of building that makes the past feel close enough to knock on the door.

Stop 7: Quay Hill

Continue along Quay Hill, one of the most atmospheric little streets in Tenby. It links the commercial town above with the harbour below, and that connection was vital.

The slope itself tells the story: goods arriving by boat, carried uphill; barrels, nets, baskets, fish, cloth, salt and all the other awkward things people moved before someone invented the phrase “logistics solution”.

Architecturally, this is Tenby at its tightest and most picturesque: narrow lanes, close walls, irregular angles and sudden glimpses of blue water. Do not rush it. Quay Hill is short, but it is doing a lot of work.

Stop 8: Tenby Harbour

At the harbour, the whole story opens out. Tenby Harbour is one of the most photographed places in Wales, but it is not just pretty. It was the working heart of the town.

Fishing, trade, coastal movement, boat work and later tourism all shaped this space. The sea brought prosperity, but it also brought risk. Storms, wrecks and difficult landings were part of life.

Look at the contrast: the painted houses rising above, the harbour walls, the boats, the stone edges, the slipways and the town climbing tightly behind it all. This is practical architecture made beautiful by use, weather and time. Tenby does that trick very well.

Stop 9: St Julian’s Chapel

Near the harbour is St Julian’s Chapel, a small Victorian chapel with strong links to Tenby’s seafaring life. The present chapel was built between 1874 and 1878 to replace an earlier Fisherman’s Chapel that had stood at the seaward end of Tenby’s stone pier.

Compared with St Mary’s, St Julian’s is intimate and modest. That is its appeal. Its architecture suits its purpose: simple, direct, close to the harbour and rooted in the daily life of working people.

It reminds you that Tenby’s history is not only mayors, merchants and medieval walls. It is also nets, tides, wet boots and prayers said before going to sea.

Stop 10: Harbour Arches and Bridge Street

Climb towards Bridge Street and the harbour arches, looking out for the structures built into the slope around the harbour side. This is where Tenby shows how cleverly it adapted to a steep coastal site.

Streets, retaining walls, arches, stores, steps and harbour access are all woven together. Some of this architecture is easy to miss because it is practical rather than grand. But that is exactly why it is interesting.

This part of town feels engineered as much as built. It is Tenby as a working machine, only painted in seaside colours so everyone forgets how clever it is.

Stop 11: Castle Hill and Tenby Castle Ruins

Now climb towards Castle Hill. This is one of the best viewpoints in Tenby and one of its oldest defensive sites. Tenby Castle once occupied this headland, guarding the harbour and coastline.

The castle remains are now fragmentary, with surviving medieval masonry rather than a complete castle. Do not expect a full battlement-and-banquet-hall experience. The real drama is the site itself.

From Castle Hill, the importance of the headland is obvious. Whoever held this spot could watch the harbour, the sea approaches and the town below. The cliffs, sea, harbour and walled town all come together here.

Architecturally, the castle is now more ruin than building, but the surviving stonework still has power. It is a reminder that Tenby’s story began with defence before it became a place of promenades, postcards and ice cream.

Stop 12: Tenby Museum and Art Gallery

On Castle Hill you will find Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, one of the town’s cultural gems. Established in 1878, it is recognised as the oldest independent museum in Wales.

The building itself has its own history. It was formerly the National School, founded in the 19th century, and was built into the remains of an earlier medieval domestic building, possibly connected with the castle site.

That makes the building a small history lesson before you even step inside. School, museum, medieval fabric, local memory: all layered into one place.

The museum tells the story of Tenby and its people, including archaeology, maritime history, geology, natural history and art. It is a very good final cultural stop because it gathers up the fragments you have just walked through and gives them context. Also, museums on hills feel more earned. You have climbed. You deserve knowledge.

Stop 13: The Albert Memorial and Castle Hill views

Before leaving Castle Hill, take in the Albert Memorial and the views. In the 19th century, Castle Hill became a public space for strolling, fresh air and sea views, part of the Victorian habit of turning dramatic places into scenic promenades.

The memorial adds a Victorian layer to the medieval headland. It shows Tenby not as a town of one period, but as a place constantly reimagined. Medieval defence became public leisure. Castle land became viewpoint. A hard military site became somewhere to admire the sea and pretend the climb did not make you puff.

From here, look back at the town. You can see how the walls, church, harbour, streets and houses fit together. Tenby suddenly makes sense as a whole.

Stop 14: Crackwell Street and the view back to the harbour

Walk back down towards Crackwell Street. This is one of Tenby’s great little viewpoints, with the harbour below and the coloured houses rising around it. It is also a good reminder of how architecture and landscape work together here.

Tenby’s buildings are not simply placed on the land. They cling to it, step with it, bend around it and make the most of every view. The town’s beauty is not accidental, but it is not over-designed either. It comes from centuries of practical decisions made in a very beautiful place.

Stop 15: Return through the old streets to the Five Arches

Finish by wandering back through the narrow streets towards the Five Arches. By now, the town should feel different. The pastel fronts are still cheerful, the shops still inviting and the sea still ridiculous in the best possible way. But behind it all you can now see the older Tenby: fortified, crowded, ambitious, maritime, devout and clever.

That is the magic of walking Tenby properly. It is not just a pretty seaside town. It is a medieval walled borough, a Tudor-linked escape story, a Georgian and Victorian resort, a working harbour, a castle headland and a living town all rolled into one.

End where you began, at the Five Arches. Once they guarded the town from danger. Today they welcome people in. Which, frankly, is a much nicer job.

This is a new walk on us. If you try it let us know: Plumstone Mountain.

Plumstone Mountain: Pembrokeshire’s rocky little giant

Fancy a walk that feels wild, ancient, dramatic and properly Pembrokeshire, without needing to disappear for a full weekend? Put Plumstone Mountain on your list.

Sitting north of Haverfordwest, near Hayscastle Cross and the B4330 towards Croesgoch, Plumstone Mountain is one of those places that can catch you off guard. From the road it may not look like a giant peak, but once you’re up there, with the wind in your face and the views opening out, it feels like you’ve stepped onto the roof of north Pembrokeshire.

The star of the show is Plumstone Rock, a rugged volcanic outcrop rising from open common land. It looks like something dropped there by a giant who was having a very odd day. The rock itself is part of the area’s deep geological story, linked with the same volcanic family of rock seen around Treffgarne and Roch. In plain English: this landscape has attitude, and it has had it for a very long time.

The views are the big reward. On a clear day you can look across towards the Preseli Hills, out over rolling countryside, and across the wider Pembrokeshire landscape. It is a brilliant spot for walkers, wildlife watchers, photographers, dog owners, and anyone who needs a bit of sky therapy. No subscription required.

But Plumstone is not just a nice view and a few impressive rocks. It is also a place with history under your boots.

The mountain and surrounding common include Bronze Age round barrows, ancient burial mounds which remind us that people were living, working, walking and honouring this landscape thousands of years ago. Long before modern roads, phones, car parks and packed lunches wrapped in cling film, this high ground already meant something to the people of Pembrokeshire.

That is the magic of walking places like this. You are not just getting fresh air. You are crossing a landscape shaped by geology, weather, wildlife, farming, common rights, and human stories stretching back into prehistory. Not bad for a “quick walk”, is it?

The area is also important for nature. Plumstone Mountain Common, including nearby Dudwell Mountain, covers a large area of heath and grassland habitat. You may see ponies grazing, birds moving over the open ground, patches of heather, rough grass, boggy stretches and the kind of wild, scruffy beauty that makes west Wales feel like west Wales.

A walk here can be short and simple if you just want to explore around the rock, or you can stretch it into a longer circular route using nearby lanes, paths and tracks. Some routes are steep, wet or uneven, so decent footwear is your friend. Trainers may survive. Your dignity may not.

A few tips before you go:

Wear proper walking boots or strong shoes, especially after rain.

Take a coat, even if the weather looks friendly. Pembrokeshire weather has a sense of humour.

Keep dogs under close control, especially around livestock and ponies.

Take your litter home.

Respect gates, fences, wildlife, and other walkers.

Use an OS map or walking app if you are going beyond the obvious tracks.

Plumstone Mountain is not polished or packaged, and that is exactly the point. It is open, windy, ancient, rocky, beautiful and quietly remarkable. It is the sort of place that reminds you that adventure does not always need a long drive or a grand plan. Sometimes it is sitting just up the road, waiting for someone to say, “Shall we go and have a look?”

So, next dry-ish day, grab your boots, fill a flask, charge your phone, and go explore Plumstone Mountain.

Pembrokeshire has plenty of famous spots. This one deserves a bit more love.
