| Описание: | In the 19th century, Solva had around 30 registered trading ships. The fading coastal trade has been replaced by tourism, and the harbour is now a popular boating centre. Several lime kilns are preserved in the harbour area. The village was the location for Wales' first butterfly farm, Solva Nectarium, which opened in 1979.

Solva (Welsh: Solfach) is a village and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. 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. 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. Most of the modern development has been in Upper Solva, on the cliff top to the west of the harbour. The rocks at the entrance to Solva Harbour made it one of the most sheltered anchorages between Fishguard and Milford Haven. Solva became the main trading centre of St Bride' s Bay in the medieval period, and was important for lime burning. |
