Lydstep Haven (known in ancient times as Lis Castell) is a village and beach holiday resort in Pembrokeshire, Wales, near Manorbier. The hamlet of Lydstep is separate from Lydstep Haven, lying just to the west of the beach and caravan park resort but the area is generally known as Lydstep Haven. It lies along the A4139 road, west by road from Tenby and Penally and west of Manorbier. It is a notable private holiday resort and has a beach which one can walk down the coast to from Manorbier.[1]In ancient times the Kings of Dyfed and several Welsh saints have been connected with "Lis Castell"; Penally Abbey was located nearby.
The Lydstep hamlet contains the ruins of a Bishop's Palace visible from the road. Although called a palace, it is understood to have been the hunting seat of Lord St David in the early 14th century.
