7Hop onto
Havenlink
One of the best ways to enjoy
Pembrokeshire is from the water. So
hop onto Havenlink, a water bus that
runs along the Milford Haven
waterway and Lower Cleddau Estuary.
The service provides the missing
link between the Pembrokeshire
Coast Path National Trail at Dale and
Angle, and connects the towns and
villages along the Milford Haven
waterway and lower Cleddau Estuary.
Havenlink complements the Puffin
Shuttle and Coastal Cruiser coastal
bus services: timetables are linked so
passengers can plan their adventure
using water and road-based public
transport.

McDonough's question "how can we
come to love all of the children of all
species for all time?" and work out
how we can holiday, work, life and
play differently to do this. Take time
to see nature through the eyes of
Graham Sutherland at Oriel y Parc,
and find out more about the St
Davids Eco City Project's work on
rainwater harvesting, solar powering
the school, making 100% plastic
recycling possible, and more.
Take time in Pembrokeshire to
draw breath and inspiration from
time spent in nature. Use your
experiences as a compass to steer a
direction strong and true, and take
memories of coast, flowers, beach,
salt cliff and sand as sustenance for
your journey, and bring your stories
when you return.

New coastal buses powered by
vegetable oil take to the road in
2009.
Thanks to funding from the
Rural Development Plan, four of
Pembrokeshire's coastal buses are
being replaced this summer with
new, fully accessible vehicles. They
are powered by recycled
vegetable oil, sourced from the
county's civic amenity sites and
local catering businesses.
Greenways Officer Rhian
Higgins said: "The coastal buses
carried more than 70,000
passengers last year. We hope
these fully accessible buses will
encourage more to use public
transport."

Protected landscapes bring
inspiration to the millions of
people who visit Britain's
National Parks each year to stay
and play in wild and spectacular
places.
The Pembrokeshire Coast, my
lifetime home and stomping ground,
remains the most special place that I've
ever encountered despite travels to the
four corners of the earth for work, surf
and exploration. The landscape and
people of the Park have influenced my
life and business in countless positive
ways.
Changing times are driving changed
thinking, and the Pembrokeshire Coast
has an even more important role today,
to inspire, re-energise and focus the
minds and spirit of those who visit. The
National Parks were created at a time
when policy makers thought that it
would be enough to protect a dozen or
so of Britain's most special areas �
we're coming to recognise now that
the same principles need to apply to
the way we look after our planet, not
just our National Parks.
We need to learn to tread
differently as we walk through
our `planet park' and treat each
ecosystem, species and living
thing as special, here for a
purpose and with a right to life.
We need to recognise that no
amount of small actions,
important though they are, can
make the difference that's
needed, and that it's time to re-
imagine a way of living that would
have nature want us to stay
around.
While enjoying the majesty and
magic of the Pembrokeshire coast,
hills and islands, take time to make
conversation and talk of the things
that will keep this jewel of nature
special for generations to come.
