The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is the only truly coastal Park in the UK and really lives up to its Welsh name of "Gwlad Hud a Lledrith, the "Land of Mystery and Enchantment. The prestigious National Geographic Magazine rated it as the world's second-best coastal destination in 2012 in recognition of its outstanding rugged cliffs and golden beaches, backed by hidden valleys and rolling mountains.
But the Park also has inland areas which provide great potentail for the landscape photographer. The Daugleddau, known locally as the Secret Waterway, has many serene settings and whose source can be found in the Preseli Mountains in the north which abound with ancient cromlechs and standing stones.
Your tutor and guide is Andy Davies, a professional photographer and lecturer, who has an indepth knowledge of the Park as he has been photographing and exploring its landscape since 1999 when he moved to West Wales. Many of the Park's locations are featured in a book he produced in 2008 called Coastline Wales. |

Hands-on expert tuition is provided to small groups who are initially taken back to the fundamentals of photography, rapidly progressing to having full creative control of either digital compact cameras with manual capability or digital single lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) with interchangeable lenses.
