A Manifesto for Action: Senedd Election 2026
With one of the most consequential elections since devolution on the horizon, we present 5 key manifesto asks to boost Wales' National Parks.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro) in West Wales is the UK’s only predominantly coastal National Park
The Pembrokeshire Coast is the only National Park primarily designated for its coastal landscape with nowhere in its area being more than 10 miles from the sea. It is one of the smallest National Parks but has one of the most diverse landscapes as one of the most ecologically diverse areas of Wales. It is recognised internationally as important for many rare habitats and species- 80% of its 420km of coastline is within Sites of Special Scientific Interest- and is unique amongst National Parks for attracting a number of sea creatures including porpoises, turtles, blue sharks and grey seals.
