Grondre Holiday Park

The little yet lively Welsh-speaking town of Narbeth is just three miles south of Grondre: pay it a visit to take in the rows of pretty cottages and shops, boutiques and the Creative Café, where kids can decorate their own pottery and admire their efforts afterwards over a cupcake. If the pool at Grondre isn’t sufficient for your water baby, head for Blue Lagoon Waterpark a 10-minute drive away. Open all year round, big kids can have an aqua adventure as they brave the flumes and battle the wild waves; tiddlers can explore Nippers Cove…and grownups can sink into the in- and outdoor hot tubs too. If it’s the seaside that’s calling, Saundersfoot is on the coast 11 miles southward (just over half an hour in the car), while the beach at Amroth is slightly closer at 20 minutes) and the popular resort of Tenby is half an hour’s drive. Head north for about 40 minutes (18 miles) for a day trip cycling, walking and picnicking at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park too. Don’t worry if you don’t manage to cover all the hundreds of miles of public footpaths and bridleways around the park: you can always come back...
