Solva Harbour showing Lime Kilns Solva (Welsh: Solfach) is an ancient harbour village near St Bride's Bay in the county of Pembrokeshire in North Wales. It lies on a deep ravine at the mouth of the River Solva. In the ravine is Lower Solva, consisting of a long street ending at the small harbour. Solva lies on the north side of St Bride's Bay, in North Pembrokeshire in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The trading ships have now been replaced by tourism, and the harbour is now a popular boating centre.

  • The harbour. one of the most picturesque in Wales.
  • Solva Woollen Mill, Middle Mill. is the oldest continuously working woollen mill in Pembrokeshire. Tom Griffiths erected it in 1907, powered by a 10 foot, overshot water-wheel which was restored in 2007. Over the years, machinery was installed to undertake the complete process of converting fleeces into fabric. Today the mill mostly manufactures carpets and rugs. There is a tearoom and a shop, and visitors are able to see the looms at work.
