Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is kicking off a year of celebrations to mark its 60th anniversary.

Granted national park status on 29 February 1952, it supports thousands of tourism jobs and contributes millions each year to the county’s economy.

The park authority, which manages everything from planning to wildlife, is planning a series of events.

It said it would also continue to meet the challenges of being “many things to many people”.

In 2010 the park was hailed the second best coastal destination in the world by National Geographic Traveller magazine.
