Solva is a small coastal ward in Pembrokeshire, Wales, centred on a sheltered tidal harbour opening into St Bride's Bay. The landscape is characterful - a narrow estuary, limestone cliffs and pebble beaches - and it sits within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, making it a popular stop for walkers on the coastal path and for small boats and kayaks in summer.
Locally the economy hinges on tourism, hospitality and small-scale fishing, with a scattering of independent shops, galleries and pubs housed in stone cottages around the quay. The ward has a long maritime history reflected in its harbour and salt-stained buildings, and like many attractive coastal communities it balances a strong year‑round community with the pressures of seasonal visitors and holiday homes.
