Pembrokeshire Green Giant

At Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (10 minutes’ walk), you'll get the chance to pet pygmy goats and donkeys, look right into the eyes of the giraffes from an elevated platform and check out fast-swimming penguins in the underwater viewing area. There are more animal adventures at Manor Wildlife Park (10 minutes’ drive), which is home to red pandas, tigers and wallabies. Ready to get wet? At Wild Lakes Wales (10 minutes’ drive), you can jump and bounce on the (seasonal) inflatable adventure course or have a go at wakeboarding. If you’d rather stay dry (and don’t have an issue with heights), there are also bouldering sessions. For something more tranquil, head to Colby Woodland Garden (10 minutes), where each season brings a different scenery: from carpets of bluebells in the spring to large hydrangea bushes in the summer, plus wildflowers and rhododendrons. There are butterflies aplenty, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of an otter in the pond.
