Ridge Top Camping

Where to start? With Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (five minutes’ drive), which has a motley history, bats and ghosts (if you believe in that sort of thing). It’s not the only historical site around. Saint Govan's Chapel (25 minutes), a chapel built into the side of a cliff-face along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, is an excellent sight. Further along that same stretch of coastal path, catch a few of Pembrokeshire’s stunning geological formations like the Green Bridge (25 minutes) and The Cauldron (25 minutes) – stacks, arches and such things. And where else might pull you in? Fishguard (45 minutes) has a pretty harbour with all the usual watersports and boat trips. St Davids (55 minutes) is Britain’s smallest city. St Dogmaels (an hour) in north Pembrokeshire is another worthy spot, a short walk from Poppit Sands and home to an abbey which hosts Shakespeare plays in the summer season.
