Nevern Camping

First stop the beach? Backed by dunes, Newport Sands (10 minutes’ drive) sits on the River Nevern estuary and suits all comers, from surfers to rockpoolers and swimmers. Poppit Sands (20 minutes) is popular for power kiting, kite boarding and sand yachting, while Ceibwr Bay, Pwllgwaelod and Aberfforest (all 15 minutes) are other likely candidates for fun times on the sand. There are walks of all lengths and difficulty in Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, including dramatic coastline hikes on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and if you’re looking for something a bit more adrenaline-inducing, have a go at coasteering or try cliff-climbing on ropes at Carreg-y-Barcud (45 minutes). If that just sounds too scary, then potter down to the castle ruins in the pretty village of Nevern (20 minutes’ walk), and stop off for a pint at the pub. Have a look inside the neolithic burial chamber at Pentre Ifan (10 minutes’ drive), and if that piques your interest, check out the reconstructed Iron Age round houses at Castell Henllys Iron Age Village (also 10 minutes).
