Pembrokeshire is becoming a bit of a filming hot spot, having been the destination of choice for recent Hollywood blockbusters Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, featuring Russell Crowe.
In fact, last year the Wales Screen Commission claimed that these blockbusters had pumped £5m into the economy of south west Wales.
Another film that has recently made use of the beautiful Welsh coastal area is , which enjoys its theatrical release next month.

The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as James, a young man dying from terminal cancer who invites his three closest friends on a camping trip to his favourite place in the world - Barafundle Bay.
The three close friends joining James on his journey are played by JJ Feild, Tom Burke and Adam Robertson, while other stars include Hugh Bonneville and the Welsh actor Nia Roberts.
