Trefalun Park

Nearby Tenby (10 minutes’ drive) has plenty to do with its busy harbour and gorgeous golden-sand beaches. Poke around the shops inside the old town walls in search of souvenirs to take home and pull up a pew at restaurants and bars specialise in everything from locally sourced seafood to flavours from further away. Grab gourmet grub from Saundersfoot (10 minutes) too, an up-and-coming resort with a pretty beach, then set off on fishing and sailing trips from the harbour. Boat tours are also to be had from Tenby to Caldey Island between Easter and October for visits to the Cistercian abbey (and some seal spotting enroute). Grownups sans nippers to niggle at them like to laze by the water in Tenby or wander from Saundersfoot to Wiseman’s Bridge along the Wales Coast Path before settling down in the latter village’s sea-facing beer garden with a bottle of wine. And for more family-friendly things to do? One of the most popular attractions in the area, Oakwood Theme Park –with its rattling wooden Megafobia rollercoaster and splash-worthy Hydro ride – is a 15-minute drive away.
