Patch Caravan Park

You’re coming for the coast, right? And there are heaps of ways to make the most of it around here: set forth for a walk on the Ceredigion Coast Path (which handily happens to pass just by the site), board boat trips from Cardigan harbour (five minutes’ drive) or just pack a picnic and potter down to Patch beach. Stunning sea views form the (potentially distracting) backdrop at Cardigan Golf Club, five minutes away; for a bit more of an adrenaline hit, activity centres in Cardigan are full of exciting ideas including coasteering, sea kayaking and other adventuresome outings. It’s worth occasionally swapping coast days for castle trips: head to Cardigan Castle (five minutes’ drive) for walled garden wanderings, kids’ craft sessions and all sorts of shows and events, or take the 15-minute drive to the ruins of medieval Cilgerran Castle. The Iron Age site Castell Henllys is 20 minutes away if you’d like glimpses further back into days of yore. Budding mini knights should find plenty to fuel their imagination at all these historic sites; they’ll also likely enjoy outings to Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park (five minutes’ drive) and Teifimania indoor play centre (five minutes’ drive, and an excellent destination for damp Welsh days).
