Spring Meadow Farm Campsite

Well, it’s got to be straight out to the coast, no? Take your surfboard or your bucket and spade to the beach at Whitesands Bay (10 minutes’ drive), seek out more big waves at Newgale (15 minutes) or continue on to Nolton Haven (20 minutes) to canter along the coast on horseback. Coasteering, climbing and watersports can all be sorted at activity centres in St Davids (5 minutes). While in St Davids, take a stroll around the 12th-century cathedral and Bishop’s Palace, then sign up for wildlife-spotting boat trips to see the seals, dolphins and puffins that hang out around these parts. Elsewhere along the coast, the little harbour at Solva and the gorgeous Abereiddy Blue Lagoon are both 10 minutes’ drive away. Heading a little further afield, the castles at Pembroke, Carew and Cardigan are all within a 50-minute drive, as is Castell Henllys neolithic burial site. If you’ve decreed the sea to be too nippy for swims, make for the warmer environs of the Blue Lagoon waterpark (40 minutes), or take a tasty tour at the Wickedly Welsh chocolate factory (half an hour).
