Strumble Camping

Strumble Head Lighthouse (15 minutes’ drive) is all about the scenery. Whether it’s passing seabirds or the dramatic coastline, the coastal path will take you all around the place, with wildfowl and dolphins often rearing their heads. Inland, Rock View (20 minutes) is another for the ramblers among you, complete with scrambling spots too. You’ll catch an art gallery or two in Porthgain (25 minutes). While the coastal hamlet is small, there’s room enough for a smuggler’s pub and an old slate quarry. Solva (half an hour) is another that's little but mighty, and it's a trove for rockpools and caves, or perhaps a go at canoeing followed by a sandwich from a deli. Surfing’s all the thing at the two-mile-long Newgale beach (half an hour) and watersports continue to take the front seat at Llys-y-fran Resevoir (35 minutes), a lake with watersports hire, mountain bike tracks and archery. Abereiddy's Blue Lagoon (25 minutes) is another place where canoeing's a-go too, but it's also a top spot for guided coasteering activities. Way to the west, it may be St David’s cathedral (half an hour) that reels you in, or perhaps Ramsey Island’s prime wildlife lookout (boat trips go here from St Justinian's, 35 minutes’ drive).
