Solva is a small, picture‑postcard village on the sheltered estuary of Solva Harbour on the eastern side of St Brides Bay, within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The village is set among dramatic cliffs and rocky coves and sits on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a handy base for walkers heading towards nearby St Davids and the wider coastline.
Traditionally a fishing and small‑trading port, Solva now combines a living maritime community with a seasonal tourist economy: narrow lanes of whitewashed cottages house galleries, cafés and pubs, and small boats still work the harbour. Its long maritime history, attractive geology and lively summer events make it a popular stop for walkers, birdwatchers and anyone seeking a quiet coastal village with character.
