Editor<p><strong>Politicians welcome progress on 72-home development in Saundersfoot</strong></p><p>Work is progressing rapidly on a major housing development in Saundersfoot, where local politicians have welcomed the early signs of transformation at Persimmon Homes’ new 72-home scheme, <strong>Ger-y-Môr</strong>.</p><p>Set on land off Sandy Hill, the site received planning approval last year from the <strong>Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority</strong> and promises a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes — including 35% earmarked for affordable rent and shared ownership. Persimmon hopes the development will not only ease pressure on the local housing list, but also support long-term regeneration by attracting families and boosting employment opportunities.</p><p>The design incorporates green technologies and ecological features such as solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, and rain gardens. There’s also a sustainable drainage system and wildlife-friendly landscaping to protect dormouse habitats and preserve existing trees and hedgerows. A play area is planned for the centre of the site, and the layout includes an active travel link back to Sandy Hill Road, with improvements to surrounding highways and footpaths also on the cards.</p><p>During a site visit this week, <strong>Mid & South Pembrokeshire MP Henry Tufnell</strong> and <strong>Cllr Chris Williams</strong>, who represents Saundersfoot South, were given a tour by Persimmon’s regional team and shown the early construction progress. The showhome, which they previewed, is set to open to the public later this summer.</p><p>“It’s a pleasure to visit a housing development like Ger-y-Môr, not only because of how it will provide new homes for local people, but also because housebuilding is so important to generating economic growth and providing good jobs,” <strong>said Mr Tufnell</strong>, praising the developer’s engagement with local priorities.</p><p><strong>Cllr Williams</strong> echoed the sentiment, describing the project as a strong example of “collaboration between planners, developers and the community.” He added: “We need more affordable homes in Saundersfoot, and I’m pleased Persimmon has been able to deliver them here through a collaborative approach. I look forward to seeing the site completed and the positive impact it will have on our community.”</p><p><strong>Persimmon Homes West Wales Managing Director Stuart Phillips </strong>said he was proud of the progress made since breaking ground earlier this year and welcomed the chance to host two “important community representatives.”</p><p>“We are committed to leaving a positive and lasting legacy in Saundersfoot and will keep Henry and Chris updated as we mark future milestones on site,” he said.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/cllr-chris-williams/" target="_blank">#CllrChrisWilliams</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/construction/" target="_blank">#construction</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/henry-tufnell-mp/" target="_blank">#HenryTufnellMP</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/new-homes/" target="_blank">#newHomes</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/pembrokeshire-coast-national-park-authority/" target="_blank">#PembrokeshireCoastNationalParkAuthority</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/pembrokeshire-council/" target="_blank">#PembrokeshireCouncil</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/persimmon-homes/" target="_blank">#PersimmonHomes</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/saundersfoot/" target="_blank">#Saundersfoot</a></p>

Editor<p><strong>Three Cliffs, Whitesands and Saundersfoot shine in UK’s Best Beaches list</strong></p><p>Compiled by travel writer Chris Haslam, the guide celebrates the most scenic, welcoming and well-kept beaches across the country. All three Welsh locations earned praise for their natural beauty, visitor experience, and enduring popularity — with <strong>Three Cliffs Bay</strong> once again standing out as one of the most photographed and celebrated beaches in Britain.</p><p><strong>Three Cliffs Bay: A Gower Icon</strong></p>Three Cliffs Bay<p>Often topping national and international beach rankings, <strong>Three Cliffs Bay</strong> is a <strong>picturesque beach on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula</strong>, known for its <strong>three distinctive limestone cliffs</strong>. It’s a favourite for <strong>beach walks, picnics, and photography</strong>, offering sweeping views of <strong>sand dunes, salt marsh</strong>, and the cliffs themselves. The beach is <strong>accessible by foot</strong> via a scenic path from <strong>Parkmill</strong>, where parking is available.</p><p>The <em>Times</em> described it as “breathtaking” and “unforgettable,” while Swansea Bay News has previously highlighted its inclusion in <em>The Telegraph’s list of the world’s best beaches</em> and its near-perfect rating on Tripadvisor.</p><p><strong>Whitesands: Surf, Spirit and Scenery</strong></p>Whitesands Bay<br><em>(Image: Visit Wales)</em><p>Near St Davids in Pembrokeshire, <strong>Whitesands Beach</strong> was praised for its <strong>golden sands</strong>, <strong>surf-friendly waters</strong>, and <strong>spiritual atmosphere</strong> — with historical links to Saint Patrick’s departure to Ireland. It’s a hotspot for surfers, families and walkers, with seasonal lifeguards, a beach café, and access to the <strong>Pembrokeshire Coast Path</strong>.</p><p>The <em>Times</em> called it a “timeless, spiritual location” and one of the region’s most treasured coastal gems.</p><p><strong>Saundersfoot: Seaside Charm and Culinary Delights</strong></p>Saundersfoot Beach<br><em>(Image: Visit Pembrokeshire)</em><p><strong>Saundersfoot</strong>, a bustling harbour village in South Pembrokeshire, earned its place on the list thanks to its <strong>family-friendly beach</strong>, <strong>easy-going atmosphere</strong>, and <strong>thriving food scene</strong>. With boat trips, dolphin-spotting excursions, and fresh seafood served along the seafront, it’s a firm favourite with visitors year-round.</p><p>The <em>Times</em> highlighted its accessibility and ongoing regeneration projects, noting that Saundersfoot continues to evolve while retaining its coastal charm.</p><p>With a <strong>heatwave forecast for the week ahead</strong>, conditions are ideal for exploring these award-winning beaches — whether you’re planning a swim, a coastal walk, or simply a day of sea air and sunshine.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/beach/" target="_blank">#beach</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/gower/" target="_blank">#Gower</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/pembrokeshire/" target="_blank">#Pembrokeshire</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/saundersfoot/" target="_blank">#Saundersfoot</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/three-cliffs-bay/" target="_blank">#ThreeCliffsBay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/whitesands-beach/" target="_blank">#WhitesandsBeach</a></p>
