Manorbier is a compact coastal village in south Pembrokeshire centred on an impressive Norman castle that sits above a sandy bay and is traditionally known as the birthplace of the medieval scholar Giraldus Cambrensis. The village spills down to a sheltered beach popular with families and surfers, and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs nearby; the local economy leans on tourism, holiday accommodation and a bit of farming, while the church, lanes and limestone cliffs give it a very well‑preserved historic and seaside character.
Penally is a small, quietly residential coastal settlement a short distance from Tenby, with its own beach and a village green character that attracts walkers and holidaymakers seeking a calmer base. It has a railway halt on the coastal line, a long history of seaside visitors, and a nearby military training camp that has shaped local employment and land use; overall it feels like a village where community life, tourism and the coastal landscape are closely intertwined.
