... Wonderful postcard... these award-winning posters and postcards were initially created to celebrate the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park’s 60th anniversary in 2012... the vintage-inspired designs were used in an advertising campaign on the London Underground and at train stations and were so successful that they became the park's brand identity... the original posters continued to be popular, and the campaign has been refreshed with new designs annually, running for over a decade... the Pembrokeshire Coast is one of the smallest of the UK’s National Parks that protect its coastal landscape... making it Britain's only truly coastal national park... at its widest point it’s about 16km wide, and at its narrowest about 100m... it is ecologically one of the richest and most diverse parts of Wales and is recognised as of international importance for a wide range of high quality habitats and rare species... with the most "cutest" Paddington Bear stampđ... Thanks a lot Paul!ăœ(•‿•)ă (postcard on its way, hope I still have the right address☺️)
Aptly titled: "Glorious Horizons" features walkers on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path passing by St. Non’s Chapel and is set against the stunning backdrop of the St. Davids Peninsula.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was established in 1952 with a size 620 square kilometers. It covers almost all the Pembrokeshire Coast, the Daugleddau estuary and large areas of the Preseli Hills and the Gwaun Valley.
Pembrokeshire Coast also includes a scattering of offshore islands many of which, like Skomer and Skokholm Islands, were named by the Vikings who cruised this coast between the eighth and tenth centuries. Though people lived on most of these islands since prehistoric times and farmed them into the 20th century only Caldey Island is inhabited today.
