Solva is a compact coastal parish and harbour village tucked into a wooded inlet on the north side of St Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Its sheltered harbour, fed by the River Solva, and the surrounding cliffs and coves sit within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, so the Wales Coast Path and dramatic sea views are key features of the local landscape.
Historically shaped by fishing, small‑scale shipbuilding and coastal trade, the community today leans heavily on tourism alongside traditional farming and a few remaining maritime activities; you’ll find galleries, cafés and pubs tucked among listed cottages. The village keeps a strong community feel with seasonal events, boat trips and an active local scene that celebrates its maritime past and rugged coastal setting a few miles north of St Davids.
