Clwb Camping

Days in Saint Davids (or Tyddewi, if you want to use its local name) are full of potential for sightseeing – within a two-mile radius there's the 12th-century cathedral, the remains of the Cadw-managed Bishop's Palace and the pretty green-tinged waters of Porthclais Harbour, plus Dr Beynon's Bug Farm for the kids. It's also worth remembering that this westerly point of Wales gets some of the best sunsets in all of Britain, so keep a good few evenings free for watching the colours light up the coastline… Offshore day trips are up next – you could stick to the St Davids Peninsula and take a boat trip out to spot dolphins and porpoises gambolling around Grassholm (book tickets in the city centre), make the trip down to Skomer by ferry from Martin's Haven (45 minutes) or drive down to Tenby (an hour) for jaunts to Caldey Island. And for bucket and spade days on the beach? Whitesands Bay (five minutes) and Porthselau (10 minutes) are close by, while for a change of scene there's Marloes Sands (45 minutes), a sandy beach bordered by a nature reserve and deer park.
