from Fishguard in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

the area. The homepage gets straight to the point of selling
the caravan park. 'The Area' section gives information
about the area, helping to establish the ideal location
of the site. Clear info is presented to the potential customer
on the 'Prices', 'Location' and 'Contact' pages. A second
