History
YHA Broad Haven was built in partnership with the Countryside Commission (now the Pembrokeshire Coastal National Park Authority) in 1980 to be used as a hostel. They had an information centre next door which is now our field study centre for visiting groups. This hostel is situated in the Pembrokeshire National Park, which is the only coastal National Park in the UK.
