Dragonfly Camping

First port of call for all should be Cresswell Quay, 10 minutes' walk away – home to the local pub and a great place for watching boats bob about or launching your own kayaks. Carry on the coastal vibe by planning trips to some of Pembrokeshire’s spectacular beaches: the traditional resort of Tenby (20 minutes’ drive), famed Barafundle Bay (25 minutes) and Freshwater West (half an hour), home to surf waves and a cracking mobile café, are some of the top picks. If Pembrokeshire’s beaches are famed, then so (quite rightly) are its castles. Lovely lakeside Carew Castle is the closest at just over five minutes’ drive, and it’s also worth taking a look at those in Pembroke (15 minutes) and Manorbier (20 minutes). Should the kids be demanding a bit more adventure in their lives, shuttle them off for days out at Oakwood theme park or the waterpark at Bluestone Resort (both 10 minutes’ drive), or to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and Heatherton World of Activities (both 15 minutes’ drive).
