Pembroke boasts one of the finest examples of a Norman castle in existence today, and it was here that the first Tudor king was born in 1457. Nearby at St. Govan’s Head, there is a beautiful chapel, dramatically perched on a cliff face, which is well worth a visit. Nature lovers should make for the village of Bosherton, where a beautiful lake is covered with water lilies during the summer months. This site is now under the care of the National Trust.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
