Our impressive Georgian mansion is secluded in 120 hectares of diverse habitats including woodland, grassland, meadows and freshwater. Centrally located in South Pembrokeshire we are just 20 minutes from rocky shores and sand dunes within the National Park, as well as popular tourist towns such as Tenby. Steeped in history, Orielton has provided a base for many years of research and fieldwork, exploration and enjoyment for a variety of individuals and groups.

Please slow down and stop at the white line even if the gate is open just to ensure that it isn’t moving to close.
