10 Breathtaking Aerial Photos of Wales' Pembrokeshire Coast
During my March visit to Wales' Pembrokeshire coast, I booked a helicopter tour with Fly Heli Wales. As a travel enthusiast hooked on aerial views, it's an unbeatable way to get oriented and uncover hidden gems worth exploring. Here are 10 stunning aerial photos that will inspire your trip to Wales!
From the air, I spotted Solva and its medieval lime kilns along the harbor. Prior to the tour, I knew little about Solva, so this vantage point ensured I didn't miss this charming town on my Wales adventure.
My flight departed from Haverfordwest Airport. Owner Sven kindly asked about my preferred sights—a detail I appreciate, unlike rigid routes on other tours. I requested a coastal hug both ways for optimal photos, and he eagerly accommodated, even circling prime spots.
I regret skipping Tenby due to an approaching storm, but the Pembrokeshire coast delivered jaw-dropping landscapes.
Over Roch Castle, Sven shared it's Anthony Hopkins' local retreat. Does he book the whole place?
Vibrant coastal houses stole the show.
Some areas boasted deep turquoise waters, mimicking tropical paradises.
