It’s a bleak Thursday morning in mid-January when I set out west on a pilgrimage to the UK’s smallest city of St Davids, but as I reach the Pembrokeshire coastline the winter sun appears highlighting the brilliant scenic views.
World famous for its beaches, cliffs, islands and wildlife, the south-west coast has also seen a hive of commercial and economic development of late.
In November last year, a Pembroke Dock Marine initiative started the first phase of its £60m project to create renewable energy and an engineering centre creating 1,800 new jobs, while only last month, plans for a £1bn floating off-shore wind farm off the West Wales coast were announced by Pembroke Dock-based, Hiraeth Energy.
