The heatwave and the pink presence of the Sturgeon Moon combined to give Pembrokeshire and the rest of the UK some stunning sunsets in recent weeks.

But the county is more than capable of serving up a spectacular sight in the skies as night-time falls, whatever time of the year.

And one iconic Pembrokeshire location has been named second only to Land’s End in Cornwall in a list of the top British sunset spots.

There are no prizes for guessing that it’s Tenby - the ubiquitous favourite of the ‘top 10’ compilers.

"The flat conditions make driving to the town easy, and a walk around Tenby towards the coast gives the perfect opportunity for sunset watching.

"Voted one of the top seaside towns in Wales, watching the sunset on the beach, or overlooking the harbour, is a highly recommended experience.”
