General
- Small and family-run site on a traditional working farm
- At the foot of the Preseli Mountains six miles from Newport
- Café, nature trail and indoor and outdoor play areas
All ages – and the dog – will be kept delightedly busy on fab little Dyfed Shire Horse Farm at the foot of the Preseli Mountains on a site run by the Lewis family since 1849.
As you might have gathered from the site name, shire horses live here – meeting them and visiting the farm for free is included in your pitch price. The farm is also part of a small visitor attraction, where you can take your pick from horse-drawn carriage rides, tractor rides, bird of prey displays in summer, and stacks to do for small sorts including a roomy play area adjacent to the site, and a spacious and well-equipped indoor soft play area open daily in the summer holidays. A one-kilometre and dog-friendly nature trail runs through woodland and meadow.
Dyfed Shire is on a working farm in a secluded and safe paddock in west Wales, six miles from the coastal path and beaches of Newport and Poppit Sands. It has a farm café (next to the outdoor play area) serving hot and cold food, a well-stocked shop and ice pack freezing. Barbecues and campfires are both allowed.
Toilets and showers are a short walk from the camping field, and include a parent and baby washroom.
Open from 01/03/2018 to 05/11/2018

Thank you for your campsite review Jamie, it was lovely to see you both again this year after your visit in 2017! We're pleased that you made the most of all that we have to offer and that you enjoyed our Caffi Celt's homemade delicacies as well! We accept that our shower and toilet facilities are on the basic side but we do ensure that they are serviced and kept clean on a daily basis. We do have plans in the pipeline to make an upgrade which would improve the campsite experience so we hope that we may be in a position for you to see this for yourself when you return again in 2019!

Thank you for your kind campsite comments Ian, they are greatly appreciated. We're really pleased that the boys had a good time and made the most of the farm attractions both during the day and in the evening! We accept that our washing facilities are basic but functional but we do have plans in the pipeline to make an upgrade which would improve the campsite experience. We hope you all visit us again in the future! Mark |

Local attractions
This is a stunning part of west Wales, with beaches and coastal walks, castles, ancient forts and family attractions all easy to get to.
Less than a mile from the farm in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is the Iron Age archaeological site of Castell Henllys with its Celtic roundhouses and regular events. Even the most iron-willed history resister should be stoked with a day here, where kids can hear ancient tales of the Pembrokeshire people, train as warriors, take the history trail or take part in some of the 80+ activities arranged here each year.
Beach days are a must around here too: if you feel up for it, you can hike six miles from the farm to reach the coastal path at Newport, part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Path running for 186 miles from Amroth to St. Dogmaels around this part of Wales shoreline.
Family days at Folly Farm, Pembroke Castle, Tenby and Caldey Island are all within 30 miles of the farm.

Thank you for your campsite review Michelle, we're really pleased that you all enjoyed your stay with us.
You make a wholly valid point with regards our washing facilities. They are functional and they are cleaned everyday as you state but with an ever increasing number of campers visiting our campsite, we do have plans to expand on the these facilities ready for the 2019 season.
