Orielton

Pembrokeshire Coast

An impressive Georgian mansion with over 100 acres of mixed woodland, Orielton is located just three miles from Pembroke on the Castlemartin Peninsular and approximately 1.5miles from the Pembrokeshire National Park boundary, Britain's only genuine coastal National Park. The proximity to the coast provides a vast array of habitats, landscapes and settlements that are used to form the basis of many of Orielton's activities.  For Ecology we have a diverse range of marine and terrestrial habitats all within easy reach of the centre.  For Geographers we use our coast to look and coastal processes, management and spectacular geomorphology.  The Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park provides case studies for honey-pot tourism and conflicts.  The Preseli Mountains are the source of the Afon Syfynwy, basis of our river studies.  We use local settlements for interesting studies into urban inequality, rurality and re-branding.
