7 Acres Camping

Sporty types can look forward to swimming, boating and fishing on the river Cleddau, and joining the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (20 minutes’ drive) for soaring clifftop ambles. Adventurous souls can surf off Newgale Beach (25 minutes) and you can try your hand at guided coasteering adventures along the coast near Abercastle (40 minutes). If the weather is behaving, take time to visit Pembrokeshire beaches like Little Haven or Sandy Haven (both 25 minutes) for swimming and rock pooling; or try the sandy expanse at Marloes Sands (40 minutes) backed by steep cliffs. Other ideas for family days out include fairground rides, big cats and cuddly ponies at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, or a visit to Oakwood Theme Park (both half an hour) for Neverland-themed attractions and hard-core water rides on Blue Lagoon. Budding historians might like to head to St Davids, the smallest city in Wales, to tour the 12th-century cathedral (have a look at the ornate roof above the altar), and then put their feet up in a cosy café for tea and cakes.
