Things to do in Pembrokeshire, Wales: The Best Outdoor Activities
The diminutive Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, a dramatic area of 225 square miles in southwest Wales, was set aside as a national park in 1952 and comprises a large portion of the Pembrokeshire coast and its islands and the moorland hills of Mynydd Preseli. Rugged cliffs and coastal rock formations are home to boisterous populations of seabirds, porpoises, whales, seals and dolphins. Cycle, hike or sea kayak around the spectacular coastline. Bird watching and rock climbing are also popular.

Owned by the National Trust and part of the amazing Stackpole Estate, 100's of thousands of Brits every year spend a fortune to fly to destinations in search of a beach of this quality. Other than the carbon foot print issue l hope this pattern continues since this will make the pure beauty of this beach and it's neighbouring twin - the one and only world class Barafundle Bay - sustainable for the smart and environmentally friendly family. This is still a treasured secret, as is the cottage we stayed in for the week, which enabled us to walk from our gorgeous holiday home, Wood Cottage, Cheriton Bottom woods, to all the surrounding beaches and the Bosherston Lily Ponds.

As far as days out with kids in the UK go this is one of the best. There were giraffes, zebras, penguins and camels that you could get up close to, and Hugo the lion is stunning. He even gave us our money’s worth when he fancied getting it on with the lioness :-D There is a petting farm indoors and a vintage funfair also indoors with many rides for all ages (great if the weather is poor) There are a few rides outside too including a twister and big wheel and also some go carts. We were there from opening to closing and were never bored once. There’s a big pirate ship to play in with an outdoor play area too. My son loved the huge sand area with the sit on diggers too. There really is so much to do and everything looked clean and well maintained. Even paying for the rides (token system) on top of the entry fee, I’d still say it was well worth the money considering what you get for your money. It was less than a third of the price we paid to get in to Legoland and value for money can’t be compared. We did so much more at Folly Farm as you don’t spend the whole day in a queue (even in the summer holidays) and it never felt overcrowded as it’s so spaced out, so a far more enjoyable fun day out. Can’t fault it.

Our 3 children absolutely loved this beach - great waves for young body boarders and plenty of space for sand castles and rock pooling. There is a 5-10 walk from the large parking field at the top along paths and an ice cream van in the field at the top which helped the motivation back up! Unfortunately, we left our fishnets there so hope next youngsters get to enjoy their use in the rock pools!!
7. Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 119 reviews
The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail twists and turns its way through 186 miles of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in Britain. From St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth in the south, the trail covers almost every kind of maritime landscape from rugged cliff tops and sheltered coves to wide-open beaches and winding estuaries. Lying almost entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park -Britain's only coastal national park - the trail displays an array of coastal flowers and bird life, as well as evidence of human activity from Neolithic times to the present. In its entirety the Coast Path represents a formidable physical challenge - its 35,000 feet of ascent and descent is said to be equivalent to climbing Everest - yet it can also be enjoyed in shorter sections, accessible to people of all ages and abilities, with the small coastal villages strung out along its length offering welcome breaks and added enjoyment. Both the Wales Coast Path [WCP](opened 5th May 2012) and the International Appalachian Trail [IAT](since October 2010) follow the route of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path through Pembrokeshire.

Wonderful walking along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with wonderful spectacular views. There was, during the 2 stints that I walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a couple of days of foul weather. A balanced mixture of ascents and descents while embarking upon the walk

Walk down the hill from Dinas Cross to the beach. There's a nice pub/restaurant to refuel in. Then around Dinas Head to the old church. A couple of hours well spent.
