Pembrokeshire, West Wales

The salty tang of the Irish Sea drifts across this working farm site where seabirds wheel overhead and the distant rumble of waves provides a constant, soothing backdrop. Mornings break with that particular West Wales quality of light—soft and luminous, even on grey days—spilling across fields that roll gently toward Pembrokeshire's legendary coastline.

Clapping Wicket welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its rural setting, ideal for families and couples seeking an authentic farming experience within reach of the region's spectacular coastal path, hidden coves and historic market towns. This is classic Pembrokeshire: unspoiled, unhurried, and genuinely Welsh in character.

Facilities keep things straightforward with toilets and showers serving the pitches. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask when you get here if you're planning an evening around the flames. The atmosphere is refreshingly low-key—expect farmyard sounds, open skies, and the kind of peaceful nights where stars actually outnumber streetlights. A proper escape to the Pembrokeshire countryside.

Lydstep Cliffs and Caverns Walk, Stackpole

Follows dramatic clifftop paths with moderate inclines and uneven, rocky terrain—stunning coastal views but not suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome on leads due to steep drops and nesting seabirds. The highlight is exploring natural limestone caverns and arches carved by the sea, plus panoramic views across Caldey Island. Short but spectacular, perfect for adventurous families with older children who can manage scrambles.
